Research Technician I - Pediatrics Genetics
Washington University in St. Louis
- # Research Technician I - Pediatrics GeneticsApplyremote type: On Campus/Onsitelocations: Washington University Medical Campustime type: Full timeposted on: Posted Todayjob requisition id: JR94941# **Scheduled Hours**40# **Position Summary**The Greer lab is interested in how non-genetic information can be transmitted across generations and how non-genetic information regulates complex phenotypes. An increasing number of complex phenotypes, such as physical appearance, energy metabolism, psychological state, and longevity, have recently been shown to be regulated, in part, by epigenetic information. Epigenetics describes how gene expression changes occur without changes to the DNA sequence. Proteins, RNA molecules, or chemical modifications to histones or DNA can induce these epigenetic changes. How this information, which is not directly coded in our DNA, is passed from generation to generation is still unknown. Understanding the molecular determinants of stable epigenetic memory will provide insight into how environmental changes can affect the health and lifespan of not only the individual who experiences them, but also of their progeny. Our goals are to identify epigenetic inheritance phenotypes and to elucidate the mechanisms behind their transmission across generations. We also aim to understand how epigenetic mis-regulation can cause developmental defects and disease. In the Greer lab we use the nematode C. elegans, the social amoeba Dictyostelium, mice, and mammalian tissue culture systems to study how non-genetic information can be transmitted across generations as well as to understand the role of non-genetic information in regulating a variety of biological processes. We use a wide variety of genetic, biochemical, and molecular techniques to decipher these complex question. Some experiments would entail worm, Dictyostelium, or mouse husbandry, extracting gDNA and proteins from worm and tissue samples, running dot blots and western blots, purifying proteins and testing their enzymatic activity. The Greer lab strives to be a place of fun, collegiality, and collaboration. Assists with laboratory duties in a research setting; performs routine tests with direction from the supervisor, manager or higher-level technician.# **Job Description****Primary Duties & Responsibilities:*** Assists the investigator or higher-level technician with research studies, experiments and assays, including collection of data, preparation of solutions and setup and maintenance of equipment.* Maintains files on research and assists with data entry.* Assists with general lab maintenance and cleaning.* Performs other duties as assigned. **Working Conditions:** * Works in a laboratory environment with potential exposure to biological and chemical hazards.* Must be physically able to wear protective equipment and to provide standard care to research animals.The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work performed by people assigned to this classification.
