Project Description
Our lab has developed a series of novel adeno-associated virus (AAV) tools which target proteins of interest to the inner mitochondrial membrane of astrocytes in mice. Current research is focused on characterizing the effect of one tool, Mito-PstI, on neuroinflammation in the mouse hippocampus.
Team Needs
We are seeking an individual with pipetting experience to take over genotyping our mouse colony. Additionally, if the applicant is comfortable handling mice, the position is open to running behavioral tests on experimental mice.
Special Opportunities
Undergraduates in the lab have the opportunity to present data either via poster or oral presentations. Additionally, they have the opportunity to perform data analysis and appear as contributors on publications.
