Golestaneh Laboratory, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC
The Golestaneh Laboratory in the Department of Ophthalmology at Georgetown University Medical Center is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to join our research program investigating the cellular and metabolic mechanisms underlying age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Our laboratory studies how alterations in mitochondrial function, cellular metabolism, autophagy/mitophagy, and lipid homeostasis in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) contribute to retinal degeneration and AMD. Current projects integrate human iPSC-derived RPE, cellular and molecular models of RPE dysfunction, in vivo mouse models, advanced imaging, metabolic assays, and human retinal tissues.
