Lab Research Technician
Westfield State University, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, 70123
Lab Research Technician - Physiology, Tulane Medical Center
Location: New Orleans, LA
Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated lab research technician to join a biomedical research lab at Tulane University School of Medicine. This is a part-time position. Our lab employs multiple platforms, including mass spectrometry of metabolites and lipids, to identify biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases such as HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders, Multiple Sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease. Our primary research focuses on understanding how lipid components of neuronal and glial membranes interact with proteins to regulate signal transduction related to differentiation, motility, inflammatory signaling, survival, and neuronal excitability. Recent work investigates how extracellular vesicles (exosomes) from brain-resident cells influence neuronal excitability, neural network activity, and immune responses to CNS damage and infections. This position involves handling and extracting human and non-human tissue and fluid samples for mass spectrometry and analyzing metabolite and lipid data. Required Qualifications
Completed B.S. Degree in Biology or a related field. At least 1 year of research experience.
