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 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
The Physical Mathematics Lab (PML) (Intro Video) offers a wide range of interdisciplinary problems that find motivation in very diverse fields, including soft matter, fluid mechanics, biophysics and quantum mechanics. One of PML’s themes is the study of new Hydrodynamic … Read more
Our research group investigates neural development in infants with and without risk for intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs). We are looking for a research assistant to join our team and help to collect infant electrophysiological (EEG) data for several longitudinal … Read more
The Pegard LAB (Applied Physical Sciences) is recruiting an undergraduate student to build an initial prototype for a portable biometric monitor. The student’s primary responsibility will be to design a VR headset, with mounts for custom sensors. Thus, candidates with … Read more
The Pegard LAB (Applied Physical Sciences) is recruiting an undergraduate student to build an initial prototype for a portable biometric monitor. The student’s primary responsibility will be adapting our circuit design into a compact PCB board. Thus, candidates with a … Read more
Study the roles of Genetic/environmental factors in preeclampsia (pregnancy induced maternal syndromes). Learn basic techniques of molecular biology such as PCR, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry etc.
We study how the NuRD complex contributes to the silencing of fetal hemoglobin. My lab uses a combination of structural biology, biophysics, and tissue culture assays to understand how proteins bind to one another and to DNA. Our goal is … Read more
We are looking for an undergraduate to continue advancing computational tools for optimization and design. The project has been advanced significantly by two previous undergraduates and has a good code base, but code development and enhancement will be a key … Read more
