The Toxicology Laboratory at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (M S&T) is accepting a Master degree graduate student to conduct a NIH-funded project. The project aims at establishing a delivery and monitoring system to deliver biologically active molecules in in vitro and in vivo systems. The imaging molecules are fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals (a.k.a. quantum dots) while the transporters are protein transduction domains (a.k.a. cell penetrating proteins; CPP). A wide range of biologically active molecules including siRNA will be used to test their functionality as well mechanisms of actions in cellular and molecular levels. I am looking for a diligent student with high motivation to advance his/her academic career. The student is expected to enroll in the fall semester of 2010. The ideal candidates should possess basic biological laboratory skills with good academic standing and scores of TOFL and GRE, is good at problem solving, and can work with a team spirit. The Laboratory is closely collaborating with the Cell Biology Laboratory directed by Dr. Katie Shannon (Biology Dept), the Physical Chemistry Laboratory directed by Dr. Jeff Winiarz (Chemistry Dept), and M S&T cDNA Resource Center (www.cdna.org) directed by Dr. Robert Aronstam.
