The Laboratory of Ronald G. Crystal, MD, at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City is recruiting postdoctoral scientists for projects related to pulmonary personalized medicine. The Department conducts a broad range of pulmonary projects utilizing patient and volunteer study subject samples obtained by fiberoptic bronchoscopy. We are employing genomic methods and air-liquid interface cell cultures to investigate pulmonary diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), systemic scleroderma, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and a variety of smoking exposures (tobacco, e-cig, waterpipe). The Department houses an extensive biobank containing large and small airway basal cells capable of generating air-liquid interface cultures, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, isolated epithelial and bronchoalveolar lavage cell DNA, RNA, and protein from hundreds of study subjects with complete pulmonary phenotyping including pulmonary function tests, chest imaging, and baseline physiological measures.
