A highly motivated technician researcher (Researcher 3) is sought
to join the Provenzano laboratory in the Department of Biomedical
Engineering and the Masonic Cancer Center at the University of
Minnesota in Minneapolis MN. Our laboratory focuses on
understanding the molecular mechanisms by which the extracellular
matrix and stromal and immune cell populations influence cancer
progression. As a fully integrating engineering and biology, we are
particularly interested in how these factors influence disease
progression to metastasis and resistance to therapeutic
intervention in breast and pancreas cancer, and develop new
therapeutic approaches. To answer these fundamental questions we
rely heavily on genetically engineered mouse models and transgenic
mice. In addition, we utilize imaging, cell culture, and cell and
molecular biology techniques. This represents an excellent
opportunity for a highly motivated individual to work and learn in
a tight-knit team and directly contribute to the study of relevant
problems in cancer.The researcher must be able to work
independently. Primary responsibilities will be focused on
laboratory management and our mouse colony. The researcher will
assist with the general management, organization, and function of
the laboratory, investigate and evaluate vendors and products for
consumable reagents and specialized lab equipment, maintain lab
inventories and assist others in safety and maintenance of
equipment and supplies. For the mouse colony, the researcher's work
will include executing breeding strategies, mouse husbandry,
tagging and weening, genotyping, and performing necropsies to
obtain tissues for histology and establishing cell lines
(experience in these areas is preferred). Work may also involve the
maintenance and study of primary cell lines, the isolation of DNA,
RNA, and proteins, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. The
ability to multi-task with precise attention to detail is
particularly critical.Research - 70%
Lab Management - 30%
