The Animal Models Core facility is seeking a student to work part-time in our molecular biology laboratory in support of our efforts to generate genetically engineered rodent and cell line models for researchers. The student will perform PCR genotyping, assist … Read more
Research in my lab examines the neural (brain) substrates of complex cognitive functions in children, adolescents and adults. We are particularly interested din brain changes associated with risk for mental illness, such as psychosis and mood disorders, and how stress … Read more
This project is a pilot study aimed at identifying barriers to participation in autism research for Black families of children with autism. This project will use both qualitative (I.e., interviews) and quantitative (i.e., machine learning on extant data) methods to … Read more
We are seeking volunteers that are interested in a clinical exposure to behaviors in children consistent with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This role gives students the opportunity to learn about the phenotypic presentation of neurodevelopmental disorders. Continued work on the … Read more
The intern will work remotely on a couple of projects to support the Center for Nanotechnology in Drug Delivery at the Eshelman School of Pharmacy updating web pages. If the collaboration on websites updates is successful, there will be other … Read more
NCCSIR conducts surveillance of catastrophic injuries and illnesses related to participation in organized sports in the US. We track cases through a systematic reporting system with the goal to improve the prevention, evaluation, management, and rehabilitation of catastrophic sports-related injuries. … Read more
In the O’Brien Lab, our interests are broadly focused on the kidney and lie in understanding the regulation of kidney development, how the mature cell types are maintained, and how these programs are altered during disease. One of our areas … Read more
The Kesimer Lab in the Marsico Lung Institute is working on the following project and is seeking undergraduate research assistants: Gel forming mucins are large polymeric macromolecules that cover and protect epithelial surfaces. In a healthy lung, mucins are secreted … Read more
The purpose of this study is to test a program to help people who have knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) to increase their physical activity (PA). After enrollment activities are completed (e.g. informed consent, baseline assessment), participants are randomly assigned … Read more
The project is to develop a novel mouse genetic model for studying the connections of an important inhibitory neuron in the brain, and the effects of cannabinoids (marijuana) derivatives on the connections using brain slice cultures. The student will work … Read more
