The Boston University Pulmonary Center, Bosmann Lab is recruiting a Research Laboratory Technician for projects on the molecular immune response to infections. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pneumonia and sepsis are life‑threatening complications of microbial infections with profound disturbances of the immune system. Our laboratory is dedicated to obtaining a better mechanistic understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of bacterial, viral and parasitic infections, including the evaluation of new therapeutic targets.

We are especially interested in novel genes for which genetically engineered mouse strains were generated by CRISPR‑Cas9 in our laboratory.

• Perform and assist in studies that include animal models of disease (e.g., mouse survival surgery), mouse genotyping and breeding colony management.
• Conduct cell cultures, immunology methods and molecular biology techniques (e.g., ELISA, PCR, Western blotting, lung histology).
