This position will investigate the role of cytochrome b5 reductases in regulating redox signaling within the cardiovascular system and their contributions to cardiovascular disease. The research program integrates mechanistic studies in cultured endothelial cells and mouse models with advanced multi-omics approaches, including bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, metabolomics, and proteomics, as well as quantitative imaging and targeted gene delivery and rescue strategies. The overarching goal is to translate redox-metabolic mechanisms into novel therapeutic strategies for cardiovascular disease. he successful Candidate will primarily contribute to ongoing NIH-funded projects, providing scientific guidance and oversight to postdoctoral fellows and trainees, while supporting the development of new research directions.
