Job description

The Calin lab seeks a Research Intern to develop proficiency in molecular biology lab techniques related to non-coding RNAs and coding genes. Research in the Calin Lab at MD Anderson focuses on miRNAs and other ncRNAs in cancer initiation, progression and metastasis.

With the discovery, in the last few years, of thousands of genes that produce small, non-coding RNA (ncRNA) transcripts with no significant open reading frame named microRNAs (miRNAs), it has become evident that the genomic complexity of the cancer cell is far greater than expected. The development and testing of non-coding RNAs cancer markers and of miRNA-based cancer gene therapy are rational further steps in the identification of new options for curing cancer patients.

All duties and responsibilities are carried out in compliance with institutional policies, ethical research standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Learn molecular biology techniques including PCR, qPCR, agarose gel electrophoresis by obtaining samples from cells and processing them for DNA, RNA and protein isolation, and concentration measurements.

  2. Learn cell culture work and conduct in vitro assays by participating in a project utilizing human cancer cell lines, performing in vitro functional assays including proliferation assays and transfections with plasmid vectors.

  3. Learn how to present and critically evaluate scientific results through routine discussions with the PI/mentor and presentation of progress in routine lab meetings.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Applicant must hold a bachelor's or master's degree

Degree must have been obtained recently (within one year)

Applicant must have previous research experience.

Applicants who hold a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree (e.g., M.D., D.V.M., M.B.B.S.) are not eligible
