We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to lead a multifaceted project focusing on investigating fundamental mechanisms of human embryo implantation. This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of developmental biology and tissue engineering, utilizing innovative technologies. Our research objectives are to elucidate the cellular behavior, invasion, and interactions between the embryo and maternal tissue, to employ single-cell technologies to profile the molecular crosstalk of the implantation niche and to employ gene editing to determine the genetic factors underlying successful implantation. By studying what goes wrong at the embryo-maternal interface, we aim to gain critical insights into the molecular causes underlying implantation failure and early pre-clinical miscarriages.
