Centre for Stem Cell Research (University of Ottawa) The Ottawa Health Research Institute, affiliated with the University of Ottawa Medical School, is seeking outstanding applicants for seven independent academic research positions as Senior Scientist and Scientist in the new Centre for Stem Cell Research under the direction of Dr. Michael Rudnicki. Areas of research include genomic, molecular and developmental studies of adult stem cells (hematopoietic, neural, myogenic, etc.) and embryonic stem cells addressing such issues as ontogeny, plasticity commitment, differentiation and therapy. Research in the Centre will utilize genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics to decipher the regulatory pathways that control stem cell determination, self-renewal, and differentiation, identify genetic and environmental factors that can be used to control stem cell fate, develop targeted gene delivery systems for stem cells utilize these factors and delivery systems to develop novel cell and gene-based therapeutic approaches to the most debilitating degenerative diseases.
