Gene regulation in Cardiovascular Remodeling and Inflammation Lab

FPI Predoctoral Contract at CNIC (Dr. Juan Miguel Redondo’s Team)


We are seeking a highly motivated candidate who wants to start a scientific career to do the PhD in our group. We offer incorporation to our team via Predoctoral contract (2019 FPI call) linked to the Plan Nacional Grant “Nitric Oxide and Adamts Members and Substrates in Marfan syndrome and Familial Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection”, awarded to Dr. Juan Miguel Redondo.
Mandatory requirements: Master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences and an academic record with average grade of 7 (out of 10)

Our team is dissecting signaling pathways involved in vascular wall remodeling, a major feature of vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, aneurysm and restenosis. We have set up animal models of these pathologies, discovered the role played by NO in syndromic aortic diseases and generated mice deficient for AngII-target molecules, some of which are totally resistant to these diseases. We aim to elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying this protection. We are also studying the mechanisms that mediate familial forms of thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, including Marfan syndrome, and characterizing genes that regulate vascular wall remodeling.
