Stanford University
Job Number: 86820

FTE: 100%
The Weinberg Laboratory has an opening for a motivated, compassionate Life Science Research Professional (LSRP1) with an interest in animal models of development of blood and immunity. Successful candidates will join the Pediatric Division of Stem Cell Transplantation and Regenerative Medicine at Stanford University, School of Medicine.
Our group aims to integrate cellular and molecular studies of postnatal immune reconstitution in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients and the aged. We are interested in understanding the pathways involved by which T-cell development is impaired, and developing cytokine, cell and gene therapies to overcome these defects in order to provide functional immunity for transplant recipients and the aged. Studies involve 1) studies of mice with genetic or acquired abnormalities of blood and immune cell development and 2) studies to test treatments of genetic abnormalities of blood and immune cell development. Studies may involve drugs, recombinant DNA or cell transplantation as therapeutics.
Our lab employs: experimental hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, tissue culture, functional in vitro T cell assays, flow cytometry and CyTOF, transcriptome and immunoreceptor sequence analyses, in vivo mouse and chimeric mouse models.
The project will focus on:
1. Evaluation of tissues from mice with mutations of genes that affect blood and immune cell development.
2. Breeding of mice and maintenance of colonies of mice with different mutations Development of antiviral effector T lymphocytes in recipients of hematopoietic stem cell and solid organ transplants;
3. Transplantation of cells and administration of drugs to experimental mice.
Candidates with outstanding personal initiative, communication skills, biology skills, and experience in animal experimentation are encouraged to apply.
