Mentor Areas
Basic immunology, reproductive biology, placental development, antiviral immunity.
Description:
We are looking for undergraduates to take on a regular post in the lab to help with genotyping our mice and, over time, take on more graded independent responsibilities in the lab. We often model pregnancy with mice, so we have a large colony. This post can morph into an eventual research technician position during gap years between Penn and graduate/medical school.
Preferred Qualifications
Basic laboratory proficiency, use of micropipettes, experience in PCR, outstanding organizational/lab notebook skills.
