The Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute (VGTI) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) has assembled a multidisciplinary team of scientists to respond to serious viral disease threats, including AIDS, chronic viral infection-associated diseases, newly emerging viral diseases and infectious diseases of the elderly. Our programs are intended to span the continuum between basic and clinical science, in which discoveries are rapidly advanced from the level of molecular and cellular biology through animal models and ultimately into clinical testing. The development of this unique program in immunology and virology provides an important training opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows at OHSU. This is why an important part of our mission is the training of young scientists in newer academic disciplines emerging at the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute.
The non-OHSU student worker will receive training in procedures common to a biohazard immunology research lab, and assist the lab with paperwork, organizing, cleaning, data analysis, simple laboratory tasks. As competency is demonstrated with basic skills, the worker will be given progressively more challenging assignments, including cell isolation from clinical specimens, and the creation of fluorescently-stained samples for flow cytometry or simple computational/database analyses.
