PDF position available

We have a post-doctoral fellow position available in our laboratory to study molecular mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions between cardiovascular lineage and head muscle lineage in the developing embryo. This is an exciting opportunity that will take advantage of state of the art technologies in proteomics, genomics, genetics and pluripotent stem cells. Interested candidates should send a CV, names and contact information for 3 references and PDF copies of your recent publications.

Funding announcement!

We are delighted to have been awarded the ‘Programme bilatéral de recherche collaborative Québec – Communauté française de Belgique‘ 3-year research grant. We will collaborate with Professor Guillaume Bourque (Genome Quebec, McGill University) and Professor Cédric Blanpain (Université Libre de Bruxelles) to better understand how multipotent progenitors choose between cardiovascular lineages (Blanpain group) and head muscle lineages (Crist group) in the developing mouse embryo and in pluripotent mouse embryonic stem cells. Implications for both the natural and health sciences! Positions available, please contact me for information.

New publication

Congratulations to our collaborators Andrew Brack and Annarita Scaramozza for their new publication appearing in Cell Stem Cell. In collaboration with the Brack lab, we help show the importance of PAX3 in defining a population of radiotolerant MuSCs.

Welcome

We are very pleased that Rose Rodrigues joins our laboratory today. Rose is a UBC Coop student who is taking a break from coursework to work with us in 2019. Welcome to the lab Rose, best wishes for your very first job in science!

Graduate student positions available

We are currently recruiting two graduate students to lead projects related to specification of muscle stem cells during development and maintenance of adult muscle stem cells throughout life. To apply, please send your CV, unofficial transcripts and contact information for two to three references.
