Organization Overview

The ultimate objective of the work in my laboratory is to understand the cellular and molecular basis of vertebrate embryonic induction, with a special emphasis on germ layer and organ formation. Toward this aim, we perform comparative studies using both amphibian and mammalian model systems, including human embryonic stem cells.
Overview

The research assistant will work on a project studying coral stem cells. They will use micropattern technology and other tissue culture techniques to isolate, culture, and propagate coral stem cells. The research assistant will be supervised by the lab manager and will work directly with the head of the laboratory, Ali H. Brivanlou. Our lab places strong emphasis on fostering an open culture of communication and collaboration, and we strive to build a supportive environment in our endeavors.
