There are ongoing opportunities for motivated researchers and students in the lab. Typical projects will encompass everything from learning standard molecular genetics techniques to microscopy to clinical studies in collaboration with the Division of Pulmonary & Critical Care Medicine and Department of Otolaryngology. Prospective postdocs should provide a cover letter outlining their interests and an updated CV. Undergraduates looking for research opportunities are also encouraged to contact us to discuss potential projects. Prospective graduate students should apply directly to the Microbiology, Immunology and Cancer Biology (MICaB) Ph.D. program.
