Opportunities exist for pre and postdoctoral research positions in Inflammation and Endothelial Dysfunction. The Nwariaku laboratory is specifically interested in the role of intracellular oxidants as mediators of cytokine signaling. Our preliminary observations indicate that oxidants generated by endothelial NADPH oxidase leads to phosphorylation of junctional proteins and subsequent loss of endothelial barrier function. We have expertise in molecular biology techniques including cloning, mutagenesis, construction of viral vectors and immunoblotting. Other techniques in the laboratory include the use of cDNA mini-arrays, confocal microscopy and transmonolayer electrical resistance. For more information, contact:
