Dr. Treena Livingston Arinzeh is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering and the Director of the Tissue Engineering and Active bioMaterials (TEAM) Laboratory at Columbia University. Dr. Arinzeh’s laboratory focuses on regenerative medicine strategies to rebuild tissues for a variety of clinical applications. Strategies include the use of stem cells, other cell types and functional biomaterials as scaffolds to repair tissues. Clinical applications include bone and cartilage repair (osteoarthritis) and spinal cord repair.

The TEAM Laboratory is seeking a creative and independent postdoctoral research scientist to work on nationally funded research projects on cartilage (osteoarthritis) and bone injury and regeneration. The postdoctoral research scientist will be involved in the synthesis and processing of biomaterial scaffolds (prior experience in 3D printing is preferred), combination strategies using cells, biological factors and scaffolds, and the investigation of these approaches in preclinical models.
