general open researchDear All,
I am a PI at the Stanford University School of Medicine (med.stanford.edu/labs/michael-hsieh) who's seeking a postdoctoral fellow to help develop novel models of urinary schistosomiasis, which, as many of you know, is a "doubly neglected" tropical disease, in part because of difficulties with existing models. Interested candidates may contact me at: mhhsieh@stanford.edu. Please feel free to share this announcement with others who may be potentially interested. Looking forward to working with everyone on collaborative projects in the near future.
Sincerely,
Mike Hsieh
