Description:
|
As a doctoral student at Texas A&M College of Medicine, I am looking for assistance in investigating how RNA binding proteins affect fetal development. **What You’ll Learn:** We will work on training to handle and process tissue or cell samples to isolate DNA, RNA, and protein, as well as mastering various techniques, Western blot assays, qPCR, and more. This opportunity is open to all undergraduates—no prior experience required. I’m looking for students who have passion and effort. Students will be able to build a flexible schedule after training concludes. To fill this position, you will need to commit 4-5 hours per week and reliable transportation to the Texas A&M Medical Research Education Building is required. |
