Postdoctoral Scholar – Research Associate

The USC Roski Eye Institute, Department of Ophthalmology, is seeking a highly trained professional to fill the position of , located on the Health Science Campus.

A Research Associate is needed in the department of Ophthalmology to support the research project that is ongoing under the supervision of Dr. Sun Young Lee.

Dr. Lee is searching for a qualified candidate to join NEI funded our multidisciplinary project, focusing on the development of intraocular extracellular vesicle (EV) therapeutics for various retinal diseases. In our approach, we utilize EVs as drug delivery carriers by modifying their surfaces, enabling active targeting of diseased tissues. Additionally, we explore the modification of cargo loading with target molecules. Our research also delves into the use of stem cell-derived EVs as a next-generation, cell-free cell therapy for retinal diseases.

The ideal candidate should hold a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Biology, Biochemistry, or a similar disc...
