Job Description

The instructor role of Medicine within the Division of Endocrinology will continue to support The research lab and is responsible for identifying and characterizing enters on metabolic bone disease and the mechanisms that drive bone loss in multiple pathological conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, aging, postmenopausal osteoporosis, HIV-infection, antiretroviral therapy and cancer metastases to bone. Furthermore, this position is responsible for creating novel tools to help with the intricate mechanisms governing basal and pathological bone turnover at the Immuno-skeletal Interface. This field, known as “osteoimmunology,” explores the paradoxical role of immune cells and cytokines in driving skeletal metabolism. Our research encompasses the targeting of anergic T cells to stimulate bone formation and the utilization of costimulation inhibitors targeting CD8 T cells to enhance skeletal regeneration. Additionally, we investigate the mechanisms and functions of the microbiota underlying skeletal damage associated with HIV immunodeficiency. This includes HIV-antiretroviral therapy-induced immune reconstitution bone loss (IRBL), a severe side effect of antiretroviral drugs that severely damages the skeleton. Additional duties also include facilitating laboratory operations, ensuring research aims are met, and supporting the PI with manuscript and grant proposal submissions.
