The Seo lab at the University of Michigan seeks a postdoctoral research fellow to study the mechanisms by which mutations in metal ion transporter genes result in metabolic and neurological disorders in patients. We characterize disease-associated genes to understand the pathological basis of disease, and try to improve the management of patients affected by these conditions. We are working on the cell and mouse models of patients mutations in order to probe disease mechanisms and test therapies.
