Graduate student rotation projects

.The Jackson lab is actively recruiting graduate students and has multiple exciting projects available for 2018-19. We always pair students with experienced lab members to help and support your training. We feel it's important for students to have their own project but also to interact with other lab members to see the full breadth of what we do. Please email Lauren if you're interested!

Crystallization & crystallography
1. cell cycle protein domain
2. multiple trafficking protein domains

Electron microscopy of endosomal coat complexes
1. Single particle cryoEM data processing & model refinement
2. F20 data collection & processing to obtain class averages
3. Single particle data collection (Titan Krios comes online here late 2018)

Cell biology
1. Cargo assays to test structure-based assembly mechanisms
2. Imaging in mammalian cultured cell lines

Biochemistry
1. Protein expression & purification projects a-plenty
2. Pulldown assays to test direct binding between coats & new protein partners
