The project entitled "Sodium nitrate and nitrite: from mechanisms to antihypertensive therapy" funded by FAPESP offers a Post-doctoral scholarship for up to 2 years starting immediately. Applications are now open for candidates and immediate selection.
The selected candidate must have a PhD degree, good background in cardiovascular pharmacology, good knowledge of cardiovascular and gastric pharmacology and physiology. The candidate must have wide experience with surgical techniques used in animal rodent models of cardiovascular diseases including the 2 kidney, 1 clip hypertension model, cannulation of arteries and veins and collecting tissue samples for biochemical analysis. The candidate must also know how to study and analyze cardiac volume-pressure curves in anesthetized rats in order to assess cardiac function. It is also desirable that the candidate show evidence of previous training in methods used to analize matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) activity as this project will require the analysis of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in tissues, in addition to other usual biochemical methods including Western blotting analysis and the analysis of products of nitric oxide metabolism.
It is fundamental that the candidate be fluent in English and work easily with a team.
