A/Prof Lynn Yap is looking for a motivated Senior Research Fellow to join her laboratory at the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine (Novena), a joint medical school between Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Imperial College London.

A/Prof Yap laboratory is working on the field of regenerative cardiology and metabolic disorders, where the team is interested in the basic and translational cardiometabolic research. The laboratory is focusing on regenerative cardiology using stem cell therapy and cardiometabolic disorders. We work with pluripotent stem cells and cardiovascular progenitor-mediated repair of myocardial infarction in small and large animal models. When transplanted into the animals, these progenitor cells engrafted, long-term survived and avoided ventricular arrhythmia in the animal. Therefore, providing a potential cellular therapy product for ischemic heart disease patients. In addition, we are interested in uncovering the molecular mechanism of cardiac regeneration, human graft maturation and electrophysiology of the heart using disruptive multi-omics technologies and inventions. We are passionate on translating our basic stem cell research into future clinical trials.

Lynn Yap’s laboratory is pursuing medical innovations by integrating science, engineering and technology to positively impact patients’ lives. Therefore, this role will provide an exciting opportunity for the individual to learn and experience collaborative academic/industry research and play an important role in impacting patients’ lives.- Conduct accurate monitoring, documenting, and reporting of experimental results.- Ability to conduct independent research.- Conduct bioinformatics analysis of single-cell RNA seq/ spatial transcriptomics/ spatial proteomics/ population data.- Assist in experiments including pluripotent stem cell culture, western blotting, molecular biology, microscopy, histology, and animal experiments.- Assist the PI in grant and manuscript writing.- Mentor PhD students and interns.- Collaborate with international collaborators.- Perform other related duties related to the work describe herein or assigned by the supervisor- Ph.D. in Sciences/Bioinformatics with at least 3 years of work experience in cardiac research- Demonstrated knowledge, skills, and expertise in supporting various research activities including bioinformatics, epigenetics, genomics, and proteomics.- Proven track record of leadership and mentorship- Published in top tier international journals.- Able to communicate and motivate effectively to staffs and students.- Strong presentation skills- Ability to work in and develop teams to create networks.- Strong interpersonal skills and a strong team player who is organized, energetic, open-minded, highly motivated, and able to multi-task and work collaboratively in a diverse workforce.
