Project Description
We are recruiting motivated science students to perform general lab duties including mouse husbandry, reagents making, plasmid preparation, PCR, and autoclaving. There will be opportunities for trainings on cellular biology, AAV vector packaging, in vivo murine study. Students will be supported for more advanced research with the progression of their skills. Students should have time to commit ~10 hours per week during the academic year (research credit or voluntary experience). Students will be encouraged to apply for summer fellowships or paid student research assistant position during summers until graduation.
