Two NIH-funded
postdoctoral research positions are available immediately in the
laboratory of Dr. Xinxin Ding for studies on the function and
regulation of drug-metabolism enzymes. The candidate can potentially
work in one or more of the following areas: 1) To generate and
characterize novel P450 transgenic and knockout mouse models; 2) To
determine in vivo functions of mouse and human P450 genes in drug
metabolism, adverse drug reactions, neurodegeneration, and chemical
carcinogenesis; 3) To study epigenetic regulation of human P450
genes in cultured cells and transgenic mouse models; and 4)
Functional characterization of genetic polymorphisms in
drug-metabolism genes. One of our long-term goals is to identify
genetic as well as environmental factors that predispose human
subpopulations to adverse drug reactions or other forms of chemical
toxicity, including neurodegeneration and carcinogenesis. A strong
background in at least one of the following areas is desirable: drug
metabolism, analytical chemistry, pharmacokinetics, pharmacogenetics,
genomics, biotechnology, gene regulation, and epigenetics. For a
list of recent publications, please see
