Chris Klemens is one of the recipients of the 2014 Professional Opportunity Awards from the American Physiological Society for the 2014 Experimental Biology Meeting. The award pays for her registration and has a $500 cash prize that will be presented to her at the APS Business meeting in San Diego.
The Department of Cell Biology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine employs an interdisciplinary approach to address basic questions in cell biology from the roles of single molecules to complex multicomponent cellular mechanisms. The research in the department involves the translation of these fundamental cell functions to understanding disease mechanisms which will one day lead to the development of therapeutics. Its methodological strengths are its outstanding facilities and expertise in optical imaging, mass-spectrometry and proteomics. Click here to watch video on YouTube
The Department of Cell Biology and Physiology at the University of Pittsburgh, School of Medicine seeks candidates for an Associate/Full Professor tenured faculty position. We encourage applications from candidates with a strong record of research accomplishments in the broad area of cell biology, including, but not limited to intracellular signaling, membrane trafficking, organelle dynamics and biogenesis, cytoskeleton, autophagy and systems biology aimed at basic cell biology questions. - [more]
