Postdoc in Biomedical Sciences Location: University of Pennsylvania, School of Veterinary Medicine Open Date: Sep 10, 2025 Deadline: Modzelewski Lab (The Modz Lab) at the University of Pennsylvania Department of Biomedical Sciences School of Veterinary Medicine is recruiting Postdoctoral researcher(s) to join a new NIH-NIGMS, Beckman, Searle and Packard funded project. Our work focuses on the exciting and emerging role of retrotransposons in early development (and beyond). We are looking at how retrotransposons impact reproduction and preimplantation development in mice but with comparative biology studies using various placental mammalian species to learn about human health, reproduction and disease of aging and cancer. The lab has two major but linked focuses: Developmental Biology and Genome Editing. Almost 50% of all mammalian genomes originate from ancient integrations of viruses and repetitive elements. While silenced in nearly all cells, "Retrotransposon...
