Animal Technician | Laboratory of Molecular Genetics and Immunology

Organization Overview

The Laboratory of Molecular Genetics and Immunology is focused on dissecting the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing the generation of antibody specificity and the translation of that specificity into cellular responses. Our work seeks to identify the genetic components that initiate B cell activation upon antigenic challenge, the controls that maintain tolerance both centrally and in the periphery, and the mechanisms that govern the coupling of antibody specificity to effector cell response.

The Animal technician will be responsible for assisting in the maintenance of large animal colony, weaning, weekly genotyping and overall good health of our animal models. The technician will also prepare DNA samples and perform PCR on established animal lines. The candidate will also assist with in vivo experiments involving immunizations.
