Join an interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellowship program in translational aspects of genetics, development, molecular biology, disorders and therapies of the liver and gastrointestinal tract. Program goals are to attract both Ph.D. and M.D. candidates to these fields and to provide training in state-of-the-art research techniques. Fellowships are for two years and are funded by an NIH Institutional Training Grant.
Specific mentors and areas of interest are listed below.
• Arthur L. Beaudet, M.D. Prader-Willi Syndrome and obesity; hepatocyte gene therapy
• Douglas G. Burrin, Ph.D. Nutritional and hormonal regulation of
neonatal gut health and disease
• Lawrence C. Chan, M.D. D.Sc. Obesity, diabetes and liver-directed gene therapy
