Rotation projects 2022-23

8/22/2022

0 Comments

 
Please get in touch with Lauren if you are interested in rotating. The lab is a great place to train. We have an awesome lab manager (Amy), an experienced research assistant professor (Mintu), and two talented graduate students (Natalie & Cameron) to support you. We use a variety of techniques and approaches to answer fundamental questions about cell biology and human brain disease. We have multiple projects focused around important human protein complexes (retromer & sorting nexins, AP4, COPI). Options include:
  1. Protein expression & purification (bacteria & mammalian cells)
  2. Biochemistry: pulldown assays & calorimetry
  3. Crystallization & X-ray crystallography, including small molecules/drugs
  4. Single particle cryo-EM and cryo-ET
  5. Imaging
  6. Computational projects (AlphaFold modeling)
If you’re interested, please email your resume/CV and brief background summary (science courses, research interests) to Lauren. We’ll then set up a time to meet. We look forward to hearing from you!

The chair (Brandt) came by on Friday afternoon to tell us officially that Lauren will be promoted to associate professor with tenure. The lab had a little gift squirreled away, and fortunately Lauren also had a spare bottle of bubbly, because our NIH MIRA/R35 has also been renewed. A great week for the Jackson lab!

Many thanks to NIGMS for featuring the lab on their Biomedical Beat blog this week. Lauren shared a little back about her undergraduate research background and perspective on science. The blog features a fantastic cryo-EM image from Amy Kendall, as well as the nerdiest picture of Lauren known to exist.
