Position descriptionPostdoctoral positions are available in the lab
of Dr. Mireille Kamariza at the University of California Los
Angeles (UCLA), located in the Bioengineering Department.
Leveraging chemical biology and fluorescence imaging techniques, we
are developing a new platform to detect tuberculosis (TB) drug
resistance in patient samples. Poor diagnostic tools to detect
active disease hamper TB control programs. Accurate detection of
live Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) could therefore improve TB
diagnosis and patient treatment. Postdoctoral fellows will work on
interdisciplinary projects within a highly collaborative
environment to identify optimal combinations of TB drugs, old and
new. Using high-throughput image analysis or large-scale
quantitative fluorescence analysis, candidates will decipher drug
efficacy and efficiency and potentially gain mechanistic insights
for designing novel therapeutic strategies. This project will equip
the candidates with skills in microbiology, chemical and molecular
biology.
