Completion of laboratory environmental and biological safety trainings in compliance with TAMU policies and requirements, is required prior to beginning work in the lab. Team members can choose to register for research credit hours and dedicate a minimum of 10 hours a week to the lab. Previous research experience or willingness to commit to multiple semesters of participation are preferred. All skill and education levels are encouraged to apply. Members should exhibit proactive learning and motivation to seek solutions to a research problem; persistence and grit in reaching goals are valued. Reliability, ability to work kindly and productively in teams, and excellent communication are valued in the Clement lab.

Description:
|
The Clement Lab focuses on elucidating mechanisms of male fertility using an interdisciplinary approach. We develop novel in-vitro models for the seminiferous epithelium using bioengineering approaches as well as genetic mouse models to characterize novel testis specific proteins. Specifically, in-vitro models are focused on implementing mechanical forces and investigating the effects, such as the contribution to efficient in-vitro spermatogenesis. Undergraduates will primarily assist with the development and validation of such in-vitro models by learning and helping with cell/tissue culture, histology, immunohistochemistry, culture device production, data acquisition, and general lab tasks. Students wishing to apply should express interest in testis and cell biology and be able to spend a minimum of 10 hours/week in the lab. All skill and education levels are encouraged to apply.
