[bioundgrd] Fwd: Research Technician opening at Harvard Medical School (Seniors & Premed This is for You!)

[Hannah Merrick]

I am a researcher at Harvard Medical School in Boston and am looking for a research technician for our group. I would like to find someone interested in applying to graduate school or medical school but who would like a couple years of research experience beforehand. I have attached a short summary of our research goals below, so please feel to contact me at rsherwood at partners.org<mailto:rsherwood at partners.org> if you are interested in discussing this further.



Our lab aims to understand the molecular underpinnings of development of endodermal organs such as the pancreas and intestine using embryonic stem cells (ES cells). We have developed a highly efficient ES cell differentiation system toward these organs in which we have an understanding of the signaling and transcriptional mechanisms underlying cell fate decisions. We are now generating corresponding genomic data using ChIPseq, DNAse-seq, and mass spectrometry to unravel DNA-level mechanisms of organogenesis. We are part of a large interdisciplinary initiative called Syscode (www.syscode.org<http://www.syscode.org/>) and closely collaborate with computational biologists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the goal of building a predictive model of development that combines cell signaling inputs and transcriptional interactions discovered in our experiments.
