The AIDS Research Center at Massachusetts General Hospital seeks Resea
By | November 14, 2008
The Partners AIDS Research Center was established in 1995 in response to the continuing world-wide AIDS pandemic and is a natural progression of the more than twenty year commitment by clinicians and scientists to HIV-1 and AIDS research and care. The Partners AIDS Research Center exists to facilitate multi-disciplinary AIDS research, promote HIV-related education and training, and enhance clinical care of HIV-1-infected persons. The Center is an independent Unit within the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). Members of the Partners AIDS Research Center hold faculty positions both in the Partners AIDS Research Center as well as Harvard Medical School. Groundbreaking discoveries that lead to the highest quality of care available distinguish the Center¿s participating institutions as among the world¿s pioneering research and care centers for HIV-1 and AIDS.
Under the direction of a research fellow, the research technician will aid in both molecular and tissue culture research examining the role of the innate immunity in HIV-1 infection. Our group attempts to better understand basic immunology to discover new pathways that target HIV-1 replication. Upon completion of training, the technician will independently carry out daily laboratory activities, such as performing assays utilizing standard techniques including, but not limited to, cloning, DNA and RNA extraction and analysis, antibody staining, multi-color flow cytometry and ELISA. The research technician will perform moderate to complex routine and non-routine experiments such as proliferation assays, PCR, qPCR, isolation, expansion and long-term culturing of primary cell cultures and cell lines. In addition the technician will also be responsible for day to day lab maintenance activities including quality control of equipment and reagents and ordering and inventorying of laboratory supplies.
