The Steinberg lab is seeking a full time Research Assistant to support a project investigating the neuroinflammatory response to stroke and stem cell transplantation. Post-stroke inflammation is considered to be a critical determinant of stroke outcome. We use flow cytometry to assess this post-stroke inflammatory response. You would primarily assist with the flow cytometry experiments and you would be highly involved with mouse breeding. Other duties could include tissue sectioning and staining, qPCR, as well as rodent behavioral testing.
