A productive cardiovascular, pulmonary and metabolic research team in the Divisions of Molecular Medicine and Cardiology, Cardiovascular Research Laboratories, Departments of Anesthesiology and Medicine, University of California Los Angeles (https://labs.dgsom.ucla.edu/cai/pages/) that is well-funded by NIH is currently recruiting China Scholarship Council (CSC) or self-funded exchange scholars/PhD students to receive training of advanced research for a period of 2 years. A PhD in biomedical sciences or related disciplines is required for the exchange scholar positions. Previous training and experiences in the following research areas are preferred: 1) mechanistic studies of vascular injury, repair, and regeneration focusing on vascular inflammation and remodeling, as well as atherogenesis; mechanistic studies of hypertension and pulmonary hypertension, diabetic vascular complications, aortic aneurysms and aortic dissections; 2) mechanistic regulation of metabolic pathways involving adipogenesis, mitochondrial function, and skeletal muscle function and exercise physiology; mechanistic studies of obesity and metabolic syndrome; 3) mechanistic studies of ion channel regulations and other pathways of arrhymogenesis using ex vivo and in vitro techniques including electrophysiology; 4) mechanistic studies of cardiac injury and remodeling in response to various insults including ischemia reperfusion injury (I/R) and pressure overload; ex vivo and in vivo I/R models in mice or large animals; 5) mechanistic studies of vascular progenitor cells (circulating, residential or BM-derived) in vascular pathophysiology
