Postdoc in Kidney development

[Iain Drummond]

A postdoctoral fellowship position is available immediately for 
candidates interested in pursuing a genetic analysis of pronephric 
development in zebrafish. Areas of study include positional cloning 
of genes required for epithelial development and function, mapping 
and functional analysis of known candidate genes  essential for 
epithelial cell polarity, patterning of nephron domains, and  
development of tissue specific GFP expressing lines as a prelude 
to mutagenesis screens for genes affecting kidney development.
