Research Services Entry Laboratory Professional

Research Services Entry Laboratory Professional

The Moore Lab focuses on the intersection of coagulation, fibrinolysis, and inflammation in lung diseases and critical illness, with both basic science and translational research components. The Research Services Laboratory Professional will play a key role in foundational projects with real potential to impact future therapeutic development. The assistant will gain hands-on experience in both bench science-performing biochemical and functional assays of clotting and fibrinolysis pathways-and translational research, including the collection of biospecimens from patients and direct interaction with clinical collaborators. Projects in the lab range from studying why fibrinolytic therapy fails in patients with pleural infections, to characterizing fibrinolytic resistance in humans with sepsis, to investigating how macrophage-derived factor XIII-A influences lung repair after injury using mince and advanced models like live-imaged of cell culture on decellularized lung scaffolds. This is a rare opportunity to be involved in research that spans from molecule to bedside, in a supportive academic environment where your contributions will be instrumental in shaping the lab's direction and impact within the university and beyond.

This role is expected to work onsite and is located on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado. Thank you for your interest in the Division of Pulmonary Sciences and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Colorado! Our over 140 faculty are located across four sites: the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, National Jewish Health, Denver Health, and the VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System. We are very proud of our long and illustrious history. Many seminal discoveries in pulmonary and critical care medicine occurred here in Denver, including advances in tuberculosis, interstitial lung disease, airway disease, cancer, and critical care. Many of our former trainees have taken leadership roles in academic medicine, including Division and Department Chairs, Deans, and American Thoracic Society Presidents. We continue to enhance all aspects of our division and training program, and as a result, we have seen tremendous and sustained growth. The clinical practice sites have built new hospitals, and there are multiple new research buildings across the campuses. We have been fortunate to recruit tremendous new faculty members while retaining many of our former trainees.
