About this role
• Develop and execute ex vivo heart perfusion protocols, including normothermic machine perfusion (NMP), to maintain and evaluate cardiac viability before and after cryopreservation. • Build out the heart viability assessment toolkit, including contractile and hemodynamic function, perfusion metrics, metabolic and lactate profiling, histology, and omics. • Propose and test adjustments to cryoprotectant formulations, loading/unloading, cooling, and rewarming protocols to optimize cardiac health and recovery. • Translate detailed knowledge of cardiac physiology and biology into experimental design and interpretation across the team.
• Deep, hands-on expertise in ex vivo heart perfusion, ideally including normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) of the heart. • Intimate understanding of cardiac physiology and biology, including myocardial metabolism, contractile function, and ischemia/reperfusion injury. • Experience designing and running organ viability assessments and interpreting multimodal readouts (functional, metabolic, histological, omics). • Comfort working at the bench in an ex vivo model and a track record of executing complex experimental protocols. • Demonstrated success working through hard, open-ended problems, with a passion for rapid problem solving and rapid exploration of unfamiliar topics and protocols. • Ability to think from first principles and tackle complex, cross-disciplinary problems alongside other scientists and engineers.
• PhD in a STEM field, ideally in cardiac physiology, organ preservation, or transplant — or significant (4+ years) experience as a scientific leader in an industry context. • Direct experience with cardiac transplant or heart preservation research.
