美国德州大学达拉斯分校/西南医学中心招收2023年博士后(光学成像/计算成像/生物信息）

One postdoc position is available in Dr. Yichen Ding’s Lab in the Department of Bioengineering at UT Dallas / UT Southwestern Medical Center.

Dr. Ding has made substantial contributions to the field of biomedical engineering. Specifically, Dr. Ding’s research has focused on the development of novel optical imaging techniques along with computational methods for cardiovascular study. With special emphasis on cardiac structure and function, Dr. Ding established an interdisciplinary platform including light-sheet / light-field imaging-based acquisition, and machine learning-based image interpretation. His research addresses the most pressing issues in understanding cardiac injury and regeneration in both fundamental and clinical fields. Dr. Ding believes the integration of genetic models with advanced engineering will provide new mechanical and developmental insights into cardiac contractility and ventricular remodeling. Dr. Ding was a recipient of the NIH Stephen Katz Award, K99/R00 Award, and AHA Career Development Award.
