Description of Duties:
This is a position in the Yoshihara Lab (https://eijiyoshiharalab.com) which studies developmental biology, physiology and genomics by using human pluripotent stem cells and genetic animal models. Recently we have developed the methods to generate functional human pancreatic islet organoids, which potentially will be the solution for insulin dependent diabetes (Yoshihara et al, Nature, 2020; Wei & Yoshihara et al, Cell, 2019; Yoshihara et al, Cell Metabolism, 2016). Our goal is creating novel therapies for diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
