Postdoctoral Position - Retroviral RNA Processing and Tumorigenesis
A postdoctoral position is available to study post-transcriptional processing of Rous sarcoma
virus RNA. We are interested in the mechanism by which an unspliced RNA undergoes nonsense-mediated
RNA decay. We are also studying lyphomas induced by avian leukosis viruses by insertional mutagenesis.
We have observed insertion of the provirus into the Telomerase reverse transcriptase gene in many tumors.
e are also studying microRNA function in chicken tumors. A background in nucleic acids or cell and
molecular biology is needed.

Biology/Genetics at the Carnegie Institution
Seeking a highly motivated undergraduate for academic credit work in a research lab. Our laboratory
is studying mechanisms of replication of L1-like retrotransposons. These are poorly understood parasitic
DNA sequences that account for ~40% of the human genome, and continue to replicate in all of us today.
For further background and reading, see my faculty webpage: http://www.ciwemb.edu/labs/han/index.php
The student will be trained in basic molecular biology techniques as well as yeast genetics. A sophomore
or junior who is interested in continuing a research project for longer than a year would be given preference.
To apply, please send a short resume to:

HIV Research - Postdoctoral Position Available Immediately
A postdoctoral position
to study the molecular origin of drug resistance in HIV-1 protease inhibition
is available immediately. This project is aimed at investigating the effects
of drug-related mutations and natural sequence variations (e.g., different
HIV-1 subtypes) on the activity of HIV-1 protease inhibitors, and identifying
the structural and energetic determinants that increase or lower the susceptibility
of inhibitors to mutations in the protease molecule. This information
will be used to design new inhibitors that are less susceptible to mutations
in the target protein. The long term goal of this project is to develop
new strategies for structure-based drug design that explicitly address
the issue of drug resistance. The resulting strategies are expected to
have application in other viral and bacterial targets as well. The research
plan utilizes a combination of biophysical and molecular biology approaches,
including structural analysis, microcalorimetry, structure-based thermodynamic
computations, CD and fluorescence spectroscopy, high throughput screening,
protein expression and purification, enzymatic analysis, PCR mutagenesis,
etc.
