About the position
Project title: Endocrine and transcriptional control of sensory development. Thyroid hormone is critical for neurodevelopment with a key functions in sensory systems, including a specific role in cone photoreceptors in the retina. The project investigates underlying mechanisms of transcriptional control and chromatin interaction by thyroid hormone receptors and how defects arise in thyroid disorders. The project takes advantage of novel genetic models as well as genomic and single cell approaches. https://irp.nih.gov/pi/douglas-forrest

Postdoctoral Fellow – Environmental, Molecular, and Genomic Epidemiology
There is limited understanding of the pathobiological mechanisms underlying how chemical compounds in the air and everyday consumer products influence lung disease and CVD onset. Dr. Wong leads epidemiologic studies to understand how these exposures -originating in the home, community, and workplace- influence disease pathogenesis through pathways involving DNA alterations. Dr. Wong is focused on identifying omics biomarkers of environmental exposures, disease risk, and genomic instability.
