[Bioundgrd] Position available in Biology department

[Janice Chang]

Position available in the Biology department for graduating seniors

******

Research Fellow in Prof. Vernon Ingram's lab

Description of position and research work-

We are working in the Ingram lab to develop a therapy for 
Huntington's Disease. This is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder 
that affects adults. The mutated Huntington protein forms toxic 
fibers in the brain. We are screening libraries for compounds that 
will decrease or eliminate the toxic effect caused by the aggregation 
of the mutant Huntington's Disease protein. We are doing laboratory 
research, but with cells, not with animals. The work involves 
biochemical and molecular biology research techniques.

Qualifications
A strong undergraduate degree and/or master's degree in chemistry, 
biology, or biochemistry is required; experience in laboratory 
research work is essential; must be able to use PC and Mac desktop 
computers; good writing skills an advantage.
