The lab is a dynamic, multi-disciplinary environment where we use the latest technologies (next gen. sequencing, chemical screening, etc.) to explore Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Salmonella typhimurium pathogenesis.
Job Description: Responsibilities may include but are not limited to: performing chemical screens and secondary follow-up of small molecule hits, molecular cloning and construction of plasmid vectors, bacterial strain construction, PCR, DNA and RNA isolation, next-generation sequencing library construction, gel electrophoresis, western blotting, tissue culture, and microscopy. Responsibilities may also include ordering lab supplies, stocking reagents, and maintaining lab databases. Maintenance of a detailed lab notebook is required.
