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.

Student worker duties will include (but are not limited to):

• Assist in managing lab sample and reagent inventories.
• Assist in building lab database through data entry.
• Support research by maintaining lab cleanliness, reagents, organization, and simple lab tasks.

• Enrolled in or on vacation from or is otherwise registered in Undergraduate Program (minimum 6 credit hours)

• Experience in biostatistics and/or bioinformatics studies

• Willingness to work in Biosafety Level 2 facilities.
• Willingness to work with FFPE nonhuman primate specimens
