Recruitment/Posting Title RBHS Instructor Department NJMS-Pharmacology Salary Open Posting Summary In collaboration with a cardiovascular faculty member, the Instructor will develop a research program to test the central hypothesis that opening of Cx43 hemichannels by S-nitrosylation is a required step in endothelial cells for Ca2+ entry and enhanced production of NO and EDHF, whose signaling regulates longitudinal propagation of vasodilation along arteriolar length. Specifically, the Instructor will identify the presence of cennexin 43 hemichannels in endothelial cells and determine whether these hemichannels are activated b endothelium-dependent vasodilators via direct S-nitrosylation. The Instructor will also determine the specific role of endothelium Cx43-hemichannels in Ca2+ entry and its mediation of EDHF production in endothelial cells.
