The team of Dr Lysanne Campeau, urologist at the Montreal Jewish Hospital, is currently recruiting students (Masters, PhD) to study bladder diseases (overactive bladder, aging, cystitis) and benign prostate hyperplasia. The graduate studies are within the Department of Surgical and Interventional Sciences at McGill University. The laboratory is located at the Lady Davis Institute. The student responsibilities will be to carry forward a specific thesis project and learn and apply various laboratory techniques: vitro (cell cultures, RTqPCR, immunoblotting, confocal microscopy, CrisprCas9…) and in vivo (mouse colonies, surgeries, animal models of diseases…). Candidates must hold a bachelor in science or a Masters, with goodGPA. They must be hard-working, highly motivated, available on the week-end when necessary.
Send your application to lysanne.campeau [at] mcgill.ca.

Dr Maurice Anidjar (Urologist and Head of the Urology department of the Jewish Hospital) and Dr Lysanne Campeau (Urologist) are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to study translational applied reseeacrh on ofcal therapy for prostate cancer. The work will involve clinical studies using CODEX to analyze the immuno-inflammatory and cellular profiles of human prostate biopsies before and after focal therapy. Basic science is carried out in parallel and relies on in vitro cell culture of dog prostate cancer (DPC-1, aggressive cancer) to examine molecular pathways to improve the efficiency of the focal therapy. Candidates must hold a PhD related to cancer, with substantial publications in the field. They must be hard-working, highly motivated, available on the week-end if necessary.

Dr Lysanne Campeau is looking for motivated students interested in completing a Masters or PhD in Surgical and Interventional Sciences. The students should have an interest in research, possess basic laboratory skills, a keen intellect and observation skills.
We focus on benign bladder conditions, physiology and pharmacology of the lower urinary tract, as well as female pelvic medicine and voiding dysfunction. Through translational research, we have developed a research expertise on physiology and pharmacology of the lower urinary tract, benign bladder conditions, as well as female pelvic medicine and voiding dysfunction. Laboratory research involves different techniques applied to the study of the urogenital tract (e.g. primary cell cultures, CrisprCas9, microRNAs, confocal microscopy, immunoblotting), animal handling (e.g. physiological recordings and surgeries) and bench protocols. Models of bladder diseases have been developed in the animal quarters using colonies of rats (Sprague-Dawley) and mice (diabetic TallyHo, SWR, Streptozotocin-treated). Clinical research involves collecting urine samples from patients with bladder diseases (overactive bladder) and the use of metabolomics, proteomics and miRNAs characterization and blood sampling for analysis. The research laboratory is located at the Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research on Ste-Catherine Road in Montreal. We are part of the Jewish Montreal Hospital (Division of Urology) and McGill University.

Senior Postdoctoral/Research Fellow
Job Description:
There is an immediate job opening for a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow/research associate position available in the Pain Mechanisms Laboratory within the Jesse Brown Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center, Chicago. Candidates who have a background in animal handling, surgical procedures, behavioral pain tests (von Frey), various injections (i.p, i.v. or Intraarticular, etc.), transgenic mice breeding with genotyping and tamoxifen injection, safranin-O staining (histology), immunohistochemistry/ immunofluorescence, DRG- and/or spinal cord isolation techniques would be preferred, but not essential. The position is funded for four years by VA Merit Award, DoD, and NIHR01. The projects investigate the nociceptive pathway induced by osteoarthritis (OA) and pain relief and drug development. Molecular mechanisms of pain evoked by knee joint OA will be determined in the sensory neurons in the DRGs, glial cells (microglial, astroglial cells), the spinal cord at the molecular level.
This position requires an individual with strong writing skills for the preparation of manuscripts, interpersonal skills, and the ability to work independently as well as on a team. Depending on the experience level, hiring as a Research Assistant Professor will be considered.
For more information, please get in touch with Dr. Im Sampen.
