Overview

The Department of Developmental, Molecular and Chemical Biology conducts research of basic biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in cell functions in both the normal and diseased states, as well as teaching students at the Medical, Dental Schools, and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.

What You'll Do

Under close supervision of Principal Investigator, conducts a variety of experiments following established procedures and protocols, including tissue culture, characterization of malaria proteins in human red blood cells, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, CRISPR-Cas9 editing, and biochemical interactions with endothelial cells. May also record test results, data analysis using appropriate statistical software, and maintain laboratory equipment. 

• Conducts bench research experiments following appropriate protocols and procedures to achieve results
• Performs techniques such as tissue culture, PCR, immunohistochemistry, electrophoresis, protein purification, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, CRISPR-Cas9 editing.
  
• Records results and maintains accurate records of experiments 
  
• Performs limited data interpretation and assists with basic statistics and analysis
  
• Maintains laboratory equipment and orders/keeps inventory of supplies
  
• Prepares stock solutions, reagents and other media
  
• If necessary, test the role of malaria proteins as potential vaccine candidates using mouse models.

What We're Looking For
