Postdoctoral Scientist – Sheyn Lab – Stem Cells & Sports Medicine

Requisition # HRC0631828E

Join Dr. Dima Sheyn and his research group as a Postdoctoral Scientist in the Cedars-Sinai Regenerative Medicine Institute!

The Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute brings together research faculty and clinicians to provide a true “bench to bedside” organization. Regenerative medicine is a new and developing field that aims to restore function in diseased or aged tissues through either revitalizing existing cells or transplanting new ones. At the Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute, researchers are turning stem cells into therapies for treating a multitude of prevalent diseases and conditions.

Are you ready to be a part of breakthrough research?

The Sheyn Laboratory focuses on the development of stem cell therapies for multiple musculoskeletal disorders caused by acute injuries and aging. The primary focus of the lab is degenerative disc disease and sports medicine-related injuries and chronic conditions. To learn more, please visit: Sheyn Research Lab Cedars-Sinai.

The Postdoctoral Scientist works independently but in close cooperation and in consultation with Dr. Sheyn and other Research Scientists. As a Research Postdoc, plan and conduct experiments in-vitro to manipulate induce pluripotent stem cells, combined with biomaterials in bioreactors and organ-on-chip systems and will manage in-vivo regeneration applications with PI’s and lab staff’s support. The Research Postdoc will continue externally funded projects, but also will assist in developing new concepts that will be used for new grant applications.
