Posted 1/27/2026- New opportunity -Spring 2026-Research Technician-SBU Medicine 

Description.
Our laboratory investigates the molecular pathogenesis of liver tumorigenesis associated with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The overarching goal of our research is to identify preventive and therapeutic targets for liver cancer by elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying MASLD- and ALD-driven tumor development. We utilize a combination of basic and translational approaches, including molecular and biochemical analyses, in vitro and in vivo models, ATAC-seq, and single-nucleus RNA-seq, to comprehensively define the pathways involved in MASLD- and ALD-related liver tumorigenesis.

Highly motivated students with an interest in biomedical research are encouraged to contact me at chiung-kuei.huang@stonybrookmedicine.edu. Preference will be given to current freshmen (rising sophomores) who demonstrate a strong commitment to research and can dedicate at least 10 hours per week during weekdays.

Posted 1/9/2025-   -Spring 2025-Mak Group

The Mak Research Lab (MakResearchLab.com) in the Department of Pharmacological
Sciences at Stony Brook University focuses on mechanobiology (the intersection of mechanics,
physics, and biology) and biofabrication (engineering novel methods to produce user-designed
biological systems). We apply interdisciplinary approaches and custom-developed tools and
methods to study complex physiological and pathological phenomena, including solid tumors,
fibrosis, and organogenesis. We further develop novel 3D bioprinting and biopatterning
methods to create ultra-realistic and functional living tissues and organs, with applications in
disease modeling, regeneration, and therapeutics.
We are looking for highly motivated students who are passionate about building and
understanding complex biological systems. We are open to students with backgrounds and
interests in biology, medicine, engineering, physics, mechatronics, 3D printing and/or relevant
interdisciplinary fields.
Interested candidates can apply directly through email to Michael Mak (Michael.Mak [at]
stonybrook.edu).  Please send a brief introduction/cover letter and CV.
