Under the direction of Dr. Hirotaka Iijima and Dr. Fabrisia Ambrosio at Harvard Medical School & Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, the post-doctoral fellow will lead a multidisciplinary project mechanistically investigating the systems-level mechanisms that drive age-related musculoskeletal decline and impaired tissue regeneration. We use a combination of multi-omics profiling, network medicine approaches, and in vivo models of musculoskeletal aging to understand how molecular and cellular changes across tissues contribute to diseases such as osteoarthritis. Our long-term goal is to develop targeted, mechanism-based strategies to enhance musculoskeletal health and functional recovery in aging populations. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in molecular or systems biology, mechanobiology, aging, or musculoskeletal science, and a passion for translational research. Individuals with experience in analyzing transcriptomic or proteomic data, or in using computational models to study tissue crosstalk are particularly encouraged to apply.
