-----------------------------------

A post-doctoral fellowship is available for a nutrition-oriented Ph.D.
or physician to investigate nutrient/growth factor mechanisms of
intestinal growth, repair and function. Our laboratory is interested
in interactions between nutrient substrates (glutamine and the central
antioxidant glutathione) and gut-trophic growth factors (eg GH, KGF,
GLP-2) in mediating intestinal mucosal cell
proliferation/apoptosis/repair, nutrient transport, and gut barrier
function. Bench studies involve regulation in Caco-2 and T-84 cells
and in vivo rodent models of bowel resection, malnutrition/refeeding,
and inflammatory bowel disease. Ongoing clinical investigations focus
on gut mucosal mechanisms in patients with short bowel syndrome and
inflammatory bowel disease and on clinical/metabolic effects of
glutamine administration in critically ill patients.

The fellow will have opportunities to perform bench research involving
rodent models and/or cells in culture. Participation in ongoing
clinical nutrition research projects involving the General Clinical
Research Center (GCRC) is also possible. Laboratory techniques
routinely performed in the laboratory include Northern, RPA and PCR
analysis, Western blot/protein signaling, in situ hybridization,
immunohistochemistry, brush border membrane peptide transport, HPLC
analysis of glutathione status and detection of intracellular reactive
oxygen species.

The laboratory is located in a pleasant suburb of Atlanta, on the main
Emory University campus. Emory University School of Medicine is a
dynamic academic environment and the fellow will have outstanding
opportunities for professional development and collaboration in
preparation for an academic career. Salary is based on years since
graduation from medical school per the NIH salary scale.

Interested candidates should send their curriculum vitae and the names
of two or more individuals.
