[bioundgrd] Summer UROP, Bartel Lab, Whitehead Institute

[Joyce Roberge]

Department: Whitehead Institute
Faculty Supervisor: David Bartel

Project Title:  Long noncoding RNA regulation of a microRNA

Project Description: The goal of the project is to identify the mechanism(s) by which a long noncoding RNA regulates a microRNA. The UROP will take the lead on an independent project under the supervision of Ben Kleaveland, a postdoc researcher in the lab. The UROP will culture mouse cells, learn flow cytometry, molecular biology and biochemistry experiments, perform CRISPR/Cas9 screens, and prepare next generation sequencing libraries.

Prerequisites: self motivated student, general biology course (understanding of general biology), previous research experience preferred but not required, preference will be given to students who can commit to one year of research (through May 2016)
