Singapore A*STAR RESEARCH ENTITIES Full time

The Laboratory of Skin Stem Cell Dynamics, headed by Dr. Kenneth Lay, investigates how stem cells of the skin govern tissue homeostasis and contribute to disease pathogenesis so as to reveal novel pharmacological intervention points. We focus on two stem cell populations that maintain distinct compartments of the skin throughout our lifetime: epidermal stem cells and hair follicle stem cells. We use in vivo mouse models and in vitro human 2D cell culture, 3D skin organotypics and iPSC-derived skin organoids, and employ cell and molecular biology, biochemistry and omics technologies to tackle inflammatory skin disorders, including atopic dermatitis and hair loss. We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow to join our laboratory in A*STAR Skin Research Labs (SRL) and affiliated with Skin Research Institute of Singapore (SRIS), a tripartite partnership between A*STAR, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and National Skin Centre (NSC) to improve skin health in Asia and globally.
