Job includes use of molecular biology techniques and some work at interface with nanotechnology applications.
Under the direction of the Principal Investigator the Staff Research Associate will participate in the study of the role of epigenetic modification in response to differentiation of human embryonic stem cells to the hematopoietic lineage. Western, Southern, and Northern blot analysis, tissue and cell culturing using aseptic techniques, maintaining multiple adherent and suspension cell lines, making whole cell protein extracts, fractionation of cells to obtain cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts, flow cytometry, restriction enzyme digestion, running agarose gels and PCR. Participate in weekly laboratory meetings through presentations and data from experiments and biweekly discussions of high-impact research articles related to the lab’s field of study. Responsible for ordering and preparation of general use reagents and supplies in the lab and the safe disposal of radioactive, biohazardous, and chemical waste. Undergraduate Helper Description: Work Study Student needed to perform basic molecular biology techniques such as DNA, RNA, and protein isolation, PCR, restriction enzyme digests and agarose gel electrophoresis. Other additional lab duties that are required include washing dishes, autoclaving glassware, disposing of biohazardous and chemical waste, and preparing reagents and solutions for general lab use. |
