The Modzelewski Lab (The Modz Lab) at the University of Pennsylvania Department of Biomedical Sciences School of Veterinary Medicine is recruiting Postdoctoral researcher(s) to join a new NIH-NIGMS, Beckman, Searle and Packard funded project. Our work focuses on the exciting and emerging role of retrotransposons in early development (and beyond). We are looking at how retrotransposons impact reproduction and preimplantation development in mice but with comparative biology studies using various placental mammalian species to learn about human health, reproduction and diseases of aging and cancer.The lab has two major but linked focuses: Developmental Biolog
