Post-doctoral fellowship in “Developmental origin of adipocytes in the neural crest”

Highlights:

1. Obesity has became a major health problem in development countries. The development of fat cells, or adipogenesis, consists in the generation of adipocyte precursors (preadipocytes) from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), followed by terminal differentiation of these preadipocytes in lipid-packed mature adipocytes. While the events controlling preadipocyte differentiation have been largely explored in recent years, surprisingly little is known about the early steps of adipogenesis and the developmental origin of adipose tissues.

2. We have recently provided new information about the origin of adipocytes by demonstrating that, during normal development, a subset of adipocytes in the cranial region of the body is generated by neural crest cells rather than by esodermal progenitors, classically thought to be at the origin of this lineage.

3. Using in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro complementary approaches, we are now interested in understanding whether the differential origin of cranial versus truncal adipocytes also reflect functional differences and site-specific regulations, which could have strong metabolic implications.

4. We are also interested in understanding the molecular pathways underlying neural crest cells induction and differentiation, and in particular how and when the adipocytic lineage segregates in neural crest-derived cells.

Post doctoral position in chemistry/ Biochemistry

Highlights:

1. Our research interests are in the area of non-aqueous biocatalysis. Specifically, we study the effect of organic solvents on the stability and catalytic properties of a class of enzymes known as serine proteases and lipases.

2. This area of study is health relevant because it enables the use of enzymes for the synthesis of chiral drugs and drugs precursors.

3. Several different spectroscopic techniques are used (H/D exchange by NMR and FTIR, EPR, FRET, Fluorescence anisotropy decay, and 19F NMR). Recently, we also began to explore methods to stabilize and to enhance the cell transfection of siRNAs. SiRNAs are small (about 20 bases) double stranded RNA fragments that have been recently discovered to be very effective gene regulators. This new project involves working with mammalian cells, chemically modifying siRNA and synthesizing a variety of cationic polymers to stabilize and transfect the siRNAs.

4. The position being advertised is for an individual with a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry or Biochemistry.

5. Expertise in NMR and spectroscopic methods is desirable, as well as in chemical kinetics.

6. Contact Dr. G. Barletta.
