Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Pharmacology & Neuro Ops

The Department of Pharmacology and Neuroscience, Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha, NE, is seeking a postdoctoral fellow for a project funded by NIH. Key Responsibilities Airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation are hallmarks of asthma that is clinically managed with β2-agonist bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids. Refractory asthma manifests with persistent symptoms despite the use of high-dose oral corticosteroids and long-acting β2-agonists and poses a major healthcare challenge. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of therapeutic resistance and developing strategies to overcome such resistance poses a significant unmet need. We are seeking a talented, highly motivated individual who is broadly interested in the molecular and cellular basis of refractory asthma. Our research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of therapeutic resistance and developing new strategies to overcome such resistance in refractory asthma. An ideal candi...
