The Husain Lab is located in the beautiful new Stanford Research Park campus of Stanford University, at 1701 Page Mill. The mission statement of the Husain Lab (www.husainlab.org) is to make breakthroughs in the pancreas and beyond that benefit patients and society, through innovation, partnerships, inclusion, and integrity. The Husain Lab is embedded in the fabric of a thriving scientific community at Stanford, consisting of over 8,000 contiguous acres, with a 1.93 billion dollar annual research budget and a 28.9 billion dollar endowment. Nineteen Nobel laureates are currently members of the Stanford community as are 167 members of the National Academy of Science, among the almost 2300 faculty. There are over 2400 Postdoctoral scholars in this highly diverse environment. Another major attraction to Stanford is its emphasis on innovation and moving the needle on science. There are many perks to being at Stanford, not the least of which is the idyllic Bay Area.
We are seeking a self-motivated individual with excellent communication skills and a strong work ethic. The individual will conduct independent research as well as closely work with others and must be a great team player. The individual will work directly with immunologist Dr. Bomi Lee, PhD, and the Pancreas Immunology section, while being an integral part of the wider lab community.
More details of our work include the use of cutting edge unbiased immune analysis technologies to uncover immune mechanisms and biomarkers in acute and chronic pancreatitis, and our accomplishments have resulted in several recent publications in reputable journal.
