Hi folks! Winston Trope '19 has shared this job opportunity at Stanford. He has loved working there and would be glad to chat with you if you have questions. Warmly, Sarah From: Winston Laurence Trope <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2021 3:48 PM To: Sarah L. Berger <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Job Opportunity in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Research at Stanford Dear Sarah, One of the labs I share space with here in cardiothoracic is looking to bring on a new researcher since the senior one is heading off to med school. The surgeon who leads the lab is a great physician and researcher and I think it would be a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking to take some time before med school. Would you mind passing this along to the jobs listserv? Best, Winston Winston Trope | he/him Thoracic Surgery Research Assistant Stanford University, Falk Cardiovascular Research Center 870 Quarry Road Extension, CV 108 Stanford, CA, 94304 (650)725-3752 [cid:image001.jpg@01D504BB.7199ADB0][cid:image002.png@01D504BB.7199ADB0][cid:image003.png@01D504BB.7199ADB0] Posting: The Ma Laboratory in the Stanford University School of Medicine Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Division of Pediatric Surgery, is seeking to hire a full-time Life Science Research Professional 1 as an independent research fellow in our lab. We currently are focusing on two main projects: 1. Ex vivo modeling of the atrioventricular valve in single ventricle physiology 2. Congenital Heart Disease Simulator Ex vivo Modeling of the AV valve in SVP We are using an ex vivo heart simulator to model AV valve function in single ventricle physiology and optimize surgical repair strategies. We then intend to translate into both large animal models (i.e., pigs) and clinical settings. We can use this simulator to measure variables such as hemodynamics (via integrated flow probes & pressure sensors), valve leaflet motion & coaptation (via high-speed videography), morphometrics (via echocardiography), and strain sensing on chordae tendineae. Please see the following publication for an example of our prior work with the ex vivo heart simulator: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022522318329659<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sciencedirect.com%2Fscience%2Farticle%2Fpii%2FS0022522318329659&data=04%7C01%7CSarah.L.Berger%40dartmouth.edu%7Ce5950ef311bd45e3b93e08d9157ed0f6%7C995b093648d640e5a31ebf689ec9446f%7C0%7C0%7C637564456685467653%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=YXyQjxAE51XRouERZSLZ%2FtZaEvqHJ4uPGpcyOEqrHew%3D&reserved=0> Congenital Heart Disease Simulator We are currently developing an MRI compatible mock circulatory loop and cardiac phantoms to simulate common congenital heart lesions. We will use integrated pressure and flow sensors to capture hemodynamic data and magnetic resonance velocimetry measurements to capture microscopic flow patterns (locations of stagnation & reverse flow and the shape of the jets). We will answer questions regarding cannulation strategies for patients with complex anatomies, ventricular assist device (VAD) approaches for a failing Fontan physiology and patient-VAD mismatches.
