The Rubin laboratory in the Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at Harvard University is focused on studying complex molecular pathways underlying different disease states, especially late onset neurodegenerative disorders and neuromuscular diseases, with a goal of identifying novel therapeutic avenues. In our skeletal muscle projects, our studies evaluate whether, or not defects in satellite cells may contribute to neuromuscular diseases. Our research combines the use of primary patient-derived cells (iPSCs, myogenic progenitors), genetic mouse models, and phenotypic drug screening methods. In addition, we are examining severe muscle damage that results in a less efficient regenerative process. We use a combination of human and mouse in vivo and in vitro studies to carry out chemical screening and transcriptional profiling analyses to evaluate potential therapeutics related to targeting satellite cells.
A Postdoctoral position is now available for individuals with a background in skeletal muscle regeneration and satellite cell biology. Studies will range from muscle functional assays (quantification of muscle force), isolation and culture of satellite cells, and the mechanistic study of pathways required to confer satellite cell regenerative capacity.

Harvard University is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Established in 1636 and named for its first benefactor, clergyman John Harvard, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States and among the most prestigious in the world.
The Massachusetts colonial legislature, the General Court, authorized Harvard’s founding. In its early years, Harvard College primarily trained Congregational and Unitarian clergy, although it has never been formally affiliated with any denomination. Its curriculum and student body were gradually secularized during the 18th century, and by the 19th century, Harvard had emerged as the central cultural establishment among the Boston elite. Following the American Civil War, President Charles William Eliot’s long tenure (1869–1909) transformed the college and affiliated professional schools into a modern research university; Harvard became a founding member of the Association of American Universities in 1900. James B. Conant led the university through the Great Depression and World War II; he liberalized admissions after the war.
The university is composed of ten academic faculties plus the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Arts and Sciences offers study in a wide range of academic disciplines for undergraduates and for graduates, while the other faculties offer only graduate degrees, mostly professional. Harvard has three main campuses: the 209-acre (85 ha) Cambridge campus centered on Harvard Yard; an adjoining campus immediately across the Charles River in the Allston neighborhood of Boston; and the medical campus in Boston’s Longwood Medical Area. Harvard’s endowment is valued at $41.9 billion, making it the largest of any academic institution. Endowment income helps enable the undergraduate college to admit students regardless of financial need and provide generous financial aid with no loans.[ The Harvard Library is the world’s largest academic library system, comprising 79 individual libraries holding about 20.4 million items.
Harvard has more alumni, faculty, and researchers who have won Nobel Prizes (161) and Fields Medals (18) than any other university in the world and more alumni who have been members of the U.S. Congress, MacArthur Fellows, Rhodes Scholars (375), and Marshall Scholars (255) than any other university in the United States. Its alumni also include eight U.S. presidents and 188 living billionaires, the most of any university. Fourteen Turing Award laureates have been Harvard affiliates. Students and alumni have also won 10 Academy Awards, 48 Pulitzer Prizes, and 108 Olympic medals (46 gold), and they have founded many notable companies.
