The laboratory of RNA and Stem Cell Biology is embedded within the Lund Stem Cell Center, an internationally ranked research center within the strategic areas of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine at Lund University, Scandinavia’s largest institution for education and research. Our research focuses on new post-transcriptional facets of gene expression control in stem and cancer cell at a molecular, cellular and organismal level. Specifically, we are interested in the molecular basis by which RNA modifications regulate gene expression in during development and in cancer.
Work duties and areas of responsibility
We are looking for a laboratory assistant to join our group for one year. Successful applicant will be involved in ongoing research in the lab aimed at studying the effects of altered RNA modifications and splicing toward gene expression in hematopoietic stem and cancer cells. Specifically, the applicant will be responsible for culture/isolation of primary skin/hematopoietic, embryonic/pluripotent and cancer cell lines, mouse genotyping. He/she will also employ different biochemistry methods for RNA and protein quantification including RNA/DNA/protein extraction, qPCR, northern/western blotting, RNA/protein immunoprecipitation, polysome profiling, Mass Spectrometry (MS) sample prep. In addition, he/she is expected to help maintaining laboratory reagent stocks and organization.
