9 faculty science biochemistry and molecular biology jobs found in Stanford, CA

The Division of Infectious Diseases and Geographic Medicine, within Stanford University, Department of Medicine is seeking a Life Science Research Professional II to perform more complex functions and activities involved in defined research projects, and independently conduct a portion of the research project(s). Studies in our lab are driven by the hypothesis that IgG repertoire diversity is a central driver of heterogeneity in human immune functioning and susceptibility to diseases. We are specifically interested in diversity that exists in the Fc domain repertoire among people, which we define by serum IgG subclass and Fc glycoform distributions. We have found that the Fc domain repertoire of an individual impacts key immune processes such as vaccine responses and susceptibility to antibody-dependent enhancement of dengue disease (Wang TT, Cell. 2015 and Wang TT, Science. 2017). This is because IgG subclasses and Fc glycoforms dictate the structure of Fc domains...

The Division of Transplant Research in the Department of Surgery is seeking a dynamic Life Science Research Professional 2 (LSRP 2) to join the laboratory of two Principal Investigators.

Stanford University is seeking a Life Science Research Professional 1 to study the mechanisms of aging and rejuvenation, particularly in regenerative stem cells in mammals (http://web.stanford.edu/group/brunet/). This is a unique opportunity to independently conduct a portion of a research project on stem cell aging using cutting-edge technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9 screen, single-cell technology and next generation sequencing. The successful candidate will make original, scientific contributions to projects involving the study of aging and rejuvenation mechanisms in neural stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. The candidate should be comfortable working with mice and animal tissue processing. Primary responsibilities are to design and conduct experiments, and to develop protocols and procedures.  Other duties include lab maintenance and assistance in orientation and training of new staff or students of the lab. This position requires either a Bachelor’s degree...

The Department of Genetics at Stanford University is seeking a Senior Research Scientist (Life Science Research Professional 3) focusing on genome editing, molecular biology, biochemistry, and/or genomics technology development to join the Engreitz Laboratory to map the regulatory wiring of the human genome to discover genetic mechanisms of heart diseases. The Engreitz Lab will launch at the Stanford University Department of Genetics and Children’s Heart Center starting in 2020. The ideal candidate will join as soon as possible. Candidate will have the option to train with the Engreitz group at the Broad Institute in Cambridge, MA during a transition period in 2020. Lab overview: DNA regulatory elements in the human genome, which harbor thousands of genetic risk variants for common and rare diseases and could reveal targets for therapeutics that aim to precisely tune cellular functions — if only we could map the complex regulatory wiring that connects 2 million...
