Welcome to Andrej A. Romanovsky's FeverLab —

where body temperature regulation and systemic inflammation are studied…

Affiliation

Present (since December 1999): Systemic Inflammation Laboratory, Trauma Research, Level 1 Trauma Center, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona, USA
The laboratory is located at the Neuroscience Research Center, Barrow Neurological Institute
St. Joseph’s Hospital is a Catholic Healthcare West hospital

Past (December 1994-January 2000): Thermoregulation Laboratory, Legacy Health System, Portland, Oregon, USA

Research foci

Focus 1: Fever and hypothermia in systemic inflammation: physiological mechanisms and mediators

Focus 2: Roles of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in thermoregulation

Focus 3: Body temperature control

Focus 4: Neural pathways for behavioral thermoregulation

Positions available

The laboratory is currently looking for Postdoctoral Fellows, Research Associates, and PhD Students to study: lipid mediators of fever and hypothermia in systemic inflammation in rodent models and in human patients; physiological roles of TRP channels in vivo; and neural pathways involved in behavioral thermoregulation. Background in physiology, molecular biology, and/or neuroanatomy is preferred, but dedication to work and enthusiastic interest in our research program are more important than the area of specialization. For Postdoctoral Fellow positions, mandatory requirements include an advanced degree, a track record of peer-reviewed publications, excellent computer skills, and good writing skills. Send applications to Andrej Romanovsky, Systemic Inflammation Laboratory (FeverLab), St. Joseph’s Hospital, 350 W. Thomas Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85013, USA, aromano at chw.edu.
