</font><font size="+1" color="#000000">Agrivida creates renewable
fuels and chemicals from agricultural crops. Many of<br>
these products are traditionally made from petroleum-based resources,
however,<br>
Agrivida's technology enables manufacturers to use plant raw
materials for efficient<br>
and economical production. Our initial projects are focused on plant
molecular<br>
biology for the production of biofuels and fermentation chemicals.
Although we are<br>
aggressively entering these market sectors, our long-term goals are to
have an even<br>
greater impact in these industries.</font></div>
<div><font size="+1" color="#000000"><br>
We have several openings for full-time undergraduate interns in
biology on our<br>
molecular biology, biochemistry, and plant biology teams. Typical
projects include<br>
gene discovery and cloning, gene design and protein expression, plant
cell culture<br>
and transformation used in making transgenic plants, and enzyme
characterization.<br>
Successful candidates will have previous experience with some, or all,
of the<br>
following techniques: aseptic technique and cell culture, bacterial
culture, PCR, DNA<br>
isolation, restriction/ ligation of DNA, gene cloning, Southern
Analysis, Western<br>
Analysis, protein purification, protein expression, enzymatic assays,
and other<br>
common molecular biology/ biochemistry techniques.</font></div>
