OUR TEAM
We hope you consider joining the lab! The Jide-Ojo Lab officially opens in January 2025 and will be recruiting new team members at various levels. We are committed to empowering our members to fulfill their potential by fostering a creative, respectful, and supportive environment, where members will work in an independent, yet collaborative manner. Apart from the competitive benefits, the Birmingham metro area includes a vibrant and diverse city with incredible suburbs. Ultimately, team members will work in a translational research environment with basic scientists, fellows, and clinicians to advance patient-centered discoveries.
