As a biomedical research organization and philanthropy, HHMI supports a vibrant community of academic researchers, educators, students, and professionals.

The lab of Dr. Corina Amor Vegas, Freeman Hrabowski Scholar, at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory is seeking a Lab Manager to lead day-to-day operations. The Amor Vegas laboratory studies aging with the goal to improve health span and find effective treatments for age-related diseases. To do this, they focus on understanding the biology of senescent cells, dysfunctional cells that accumulate in organisms over time and drive aging diseases. They pioneer the development of CAR T cells able to eliminate these senescent cells. In their studies, they harness senolytic cell therapy to both understand the biology of senescent cells and to develop new therapeutic strategies.
