Please see attached the graduate student position in my lab. Unfortunately .I found that

the graduate admission for our medical school program was closed. But I can admit

graduate students from the Nutrition program as I am a joined faculty in Nutrition.

Next year the student can transfer to the medical school. I found other faculty in the

Nutrition program want graduate students as well. So I will pass the information to them.

Regarding the postdoctoral position, my lab has an opening. The project is to investigate

the cell lineage in heart development. I would like to have a postdoc with experience

in cell culture, animal, CRIPRCas9 and genomics, but these requirements could be

variable.So I would have to talk with the person first to decide. You can encourage any

interested persons to contact me directly
