Volunteer Students Wanted!!! LBNL EMB Core Research Program 2005-2006 The Expression and Molecular Biology Core (EMB Core) is one of the core facilities to support a multi-institutional program project on Cell and Structural Biology of DNA Repair Machines (SBDR), led by Drs.John Tainer and Pricilla Cooper centered at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The main focus at the EMB Core is to generate expression constructs of DNA repair proteins and/or protein domains, to optimize soluble expression of target protein and/or protein complexes, to purify the recombinant proteins for crystallization and subsequent structural studies, as well as to investigate protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions in DAN repair machinary. Volunteers will: * Be involved in the research projects in collaborations with SBDR member labs * Participate in regular lab meetings * Be trained in basic molecular cloning techniques, including sequence analysis, primer design, PCR, restriction mapping, and agarose gel electrophoresis; aseptic techniques in microbiology and cell cultures; and biochemical skills in protein expression, analysis, purification, and protein interactions using protein gel electrophoresis, Western blotting and column chromatography * Be trained in data analysis, organization and presentations * Obtain research credits during school year * Perform honor thesis research projects during the senior year QUALIFICATIONS: Essential - * Undergraduate students major in biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, or related fields * Have taken basic chemistry, biology and lab courses * Must be organized, responsible, capable of multi-tasking, keep detail lab notes, and have good communication skills Preferred - * Previous research experience, but not required * Junior preferred; sophomore encouraged * Minimum 10-12 hours per week and a full year commitment CONTACT INFO: Miaw-Sheue Tsai, PhD Scientist Head, Expression and Molecular Biology (EMB) Core Life Sciences Division Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 1 Cyclotron Rd, Berkeley, CA 94720 Phone: 510-486-6621 Fax: 510-486-6816 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more information about the SBDR program, please visit http://www.sbdr.lbl.gov --------------------------------------------------------------------- The above message does not necessarily represent the views or opinions of MCBcDNA, mcbUSA, the MCB Department, or UC Berkeley.
