Location Memphis, TN Category Postdoc Department Bone Marrow Transplant and Cellular Therapy Shift Weekday Day Position Type Full Time Scheduled Weekly Hours 40 Req # JR7783 Job Description A postdoctoral research associate position is available in the lab of Dr. Senthil Bhoopalan. Project Description: Bone marrow failure (BMF) disorders are catastrophic diseases of childhood that result in failure to produce hematopoietic cells leading to severe morbidity and eventually mortality. Treatment options are limited to supportive care and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. We are interested in developing curative therapies for patients with these rare but severe disorders. Using a combination of disease model systems such as induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hematopoietic stem cells and engineered hematopoietic stem cells from healthy donors to model patient mutations, we have advanced development of gene therapy for...

Manager of Young Adult Programs Job Description About Us The Collective Blueprint is helping Memphis become a city where all young adults can thrive. Founded in 2017 to support the ~45,000 local young adults out of work and school, we are increasing socioeconomic mobility through: Career-Focused Training: As Memphis' go-to model for supporting opportunity youth, we facilitate young adults' entry into in-demand careers via school-readiness training, ongoing coaching, monthly stipends, free therapy, internships, employment support, and lifelong access to a well-connected network. At our founding, the local community college completion rate was around 5%, with limited economic outcomes. We now have a 70% completion rate, and our alumni have achieved 150% wage growth-with zero debt. Innovation: The current employment and education systems fail many young adults. We build coalitions to address inequities and transform the city's landscape-leading citywide economic development...
