Job Description
A Research Associate position is available immediately in the Saito laboratory to study hepatic cell biology hepatic inflammation and innate antiviral immunology. Our laboratory utilizes the stateoftheart humanized liver chimeric mouse model in addition to the tools of cell biology virology genetics molecular biology and systems biology. The ideal applicant will be a hardworking creative and highly selfmotivated researcher who is interested in the field of liver disease (e.g. metabolic liver disease viral hepatitis liver inflammation and hepatic immunity). The candidate is expected to have significant experience with in vitro and vivo experiments including but not limited to primary cell isolation/culture general molecular biology biochemistry in vivo study skills. This includes but not limited to protein assay (Western Blotting Immunoprecipiatation gel analysis) nucleic acids (DNA and RNA such as cloning PCR RTQPCR RNA synthesis transfection extraction) microscopic analysis (immune fluorescent staining Immunohistochemistry (IHC) light microscopy and image analysis and processing).
