POSITIONS in the lab of Dr. Lutz Birnbaumer - NIH Scientist Emeritus
"Laboratory of Pharmacology and function channels Ionic" offers positions Postdoctoral and PREDOCTORAL research group that is creating in the Argentina Dr. Lutz Birnbaumer, co-descubridor mechanism of signal transduction by G-proteins, and discoverer of the TRPC (transient receptor potential) channels, in which alone, or in combination with channels ORAI, participate in a wide range of diseases including development of cardiac hypertrofia septic collapse and the initiation of epileptic seizures. Recently repatriated, he is member of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States and corresponding member of CONICET and National Academy of medicine Argentina.
