Research Intern Position
The Research Intern will join the Chepurna Laboratory and contribute to two active translational GBM research programs under the direct supervision of Dr. Oksana Chepurna, PhD. This appointment offers a rigorous hands-on training opportunity at the intersection of cancer immunology, nanomedicine, and in vivo mouse modeling.
Primary Objectives:
Support ongoing in vitro and in vivo experiments examining the immunomodulatory effects of alternating magnetic field exposure in CT2A and GL261 syngeneic GBM models. The scholar will learn tumor cell culture, mouse intracranial tumor implantation protocols, AMF treatment procedures, and multiparameter flow cytometry for immune profiling.
Assist with bone marrow-derived macrophage (BMDM) polarization assays using GL261-conditioned medium and ETP-PGA nanoconjugates. The scholar will gain experience in nanoparticle handling, macrophage culture, flow cytometry panel design and acquisition, and data analysis using Graph Pad Prism.
This role provides educational value through structured mentorship, weekly lab meetings, journal club participation, and progressive skill development in translational neuro-oncology research methods.
