<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The Knouse Lab at the Whitehead Institute is seeking undergraduate students to join our team! We harness the incredible genetic tractability and regenerative capacity of the mouse liver to investigate
the reversible cell cycle state known as quiescence and reveal novel approaches for regenerative medicine. We are currently interested in understanding the mechanisms underlying the reversibility of the quiescent state and how this state is distinct from terminal
differentiation—why a hepatocyte has the ability to divide again while a cardiomyocyte or neuron cannot. Our lab employs a variety of genetic and bioengineering approaches directly within the mouse. Students would initially be teamed up with other lab members
to learn and assist with techniques such as mouse colony maintenance, mouse surgeries, tissue processing, and cell isolation with the ultimate goal of having their own independent projects. For more information on our lab, please visit
<a href="http://knouselab.org/">knouselab.org</a>.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

to students who are willing to work in the lab for multiple semesters and full-time through the summer.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
