Description
We apply the principles of Darwinian evolution to evolve peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids with desired functional properties. Starting from large pools of sequence, functional molecules are isolated through iterative cycles of selection and amplification. Using this methodology, we are creating novel tools for molecular medicine, exploring the functional landscape of the human genome, and examining the magnitude of the protein universe. This research combines traditional synthetic organic chemistry and molecular biology with functional genomics, structural biology, and nanobiotechnology. The successful candidate will use their expertise in basic molecular biology and biochemistry techniques such as PCR, cloning, cell culture, reagent preparation & associate calculations, handling radioactive reagents, using sequence/folding analysis software. In addition, they will use their expertise with nucleic acid and protein electrophoresis, purification, quantification and imaging. They will order and maintain lab inventories on behalf of a group, maintain equipment, as well as generate and implement lab organizational and safety procedures. The candidate will read primary research, develop and optimize procedures, and prepare written and oral reports pertaining to the research.
