Description
Under the supervision of the Principal Investigator and the Postdoctoral Fellow, the Staff Research Associate will provide basic technical support in the research laboratory, understanding the molecular and genetic basis of neurological diseases, and provide technical support in research focused on the molecular and genetic basis of developmental and neuro-psychiatric disorders. This includes bench work involving molecular analysis of RNA/DNA, preparation of single-cell libraries, immunohistochemistry, and genomics.
cellular biology techniques. The vast majority of work will be tissue culture (cell culture maintenance, generating stable cells lines, primary neuronal cultures, stem cells including iPSCs); transfection in cellular studies; molecular cloning; RNA, DNA and protein extraction and analysis (PCR, RT-PCR, western blot); tissue collection from mice; immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry handling human tissue and in vitro organoids for genomic analysis including, but not limited to, single-cell transcriptomics and epigenomics, immunohistochemistry, and In Situ RNA hybridization.
Additional work will include basic bioinformatics, tissue dissection, RNA/DNA extraction, western blotting, and qPCR.. Furthermore, the SRA II will be involved in transformation and generating DNA plasmids; performing PCR and gel electrophoresis; will be involved in generating spatial transcriptomics, immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry, preparing buffers, solutions, and chemicals for lab experiments; basic data analysis and interpretation; maintaining database of experimental results;
assisting with figures for grant applications and publications; providing technical assistance in the lab, including assisting other members of the lab; and assisting with training of lab assistants and students.
