We have an opportunity for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the Martens lab at the University of California, San Francisco.
Hanna Martens investigates how aging disrupts the tissue microenvironment by altering extracellular matrix organization, mechanical signaling, and cell-cell communication.

Develop and lead independent research projects
Design, execute, and interpret rigorous experiments
We seek to understand how these changes influence cell behavior, tissue homeostasis, and regenerative capacity, with the long-term goal of developing strategies to restore tissue function and promote healthy aging.
By integrating molecular genetics, quantitative imaging, single-cell and spatial genomics, bioengineering, and engineered extracellular matrix mimetics with advanced 3D cell culture systems, we aim to uncover fundamental mechanisms of aging and develop strategies to restore tissue function and promote healthy aging.
Stable research support through HHMI
Strong support for fellowship and grant applications
