Milwaukee Succeeds
In the role of
Research Scientist I , you will supervise and independently perform studies to advance the principal investigator’s research projects. You will develop, plan, and implement experiments, analyze data, monitor quality control processes to ensure research integrity, and prepare manuscripts and grant applications.
The position will be in the laboratory of Dr. William Drobyski in the Departments of Medicine and Microbiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The focus is transplantation immunology with a specific emphasis on the immunobiology of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and the pathophysiology of acute and chronic GVHD. Areas of interest include T cell and regulatory T cell biology, innate immune cell–induced inflammation, and inflammatory cytokine networks that contribute to GVHD. You will work with genetically modified mouse models, flow cytometry, q‑PCR, RNA‑seq, western blot, single‑cell RNA‑seq, bioinformatics, and other immunological techniques.
