Job Description

Overview:

The recent joining of Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute (LBRI) with the Touro University System that includes New York Medical College (NYMC) has expanded our academic prowess and the potential to conduct innovative clinical trials to impact respiratory diseases. While NYMCs primary mission is training medical and dental students, it also offers graduate programs in experimental pathology, microbiology, immunology, cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology and conducts research across these disciplines. Founded in 1947 as a not-for-profit corporation, LBRI employs ~35 PhD level scientists and ~250 technicians and staff. The Lovelace mission is to serve humanity through research on the prevention, treatment, and cure of respiratory disease. LBRI studies respiratory health issues of concern to scientists and health care experts in universities, government, industry, and patient advocacy groups and offers state-of-the-art facilities to support the needs of the work proposed.

With an extended community of Faculty, researchers, graduate students and technicians, LBRI is uniquely positioned to provide broad research resources to Faculty members committed to advancing our mission. LBRI operates more than 450,000 sq. ft of laboratory space over two campuses with state-of-the art facilities to support basic and applied research. LBRI, with over 120 animal models for respiratory research and breeding facilities for genetically engineered mouse models, provides a rich environment for collaboration and translation of basic research findings to in vivo models. Our well-established pre-clinical investigational drug safety program allows opportunities to extend work into human clinical trials for respiratory and non-respiratory diseases.

LBRI's affiliation agreement with the University of New Mexico allows for adjunct faculty appointments, training of graduate students, and fosters collaboration across the Health Sciences Research Programs and the University of New Mexico's NCI Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.
