A Research Assistant position is available to join in the Department of Biochemistry, College of Medicine and Health Science, UAE University, AlAin, UAE. The focus of our research is to create patient specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS Cells). These hiPS cells will be differentiated into cells of pathological relevance to understand disease mechanisms and drug testing. The project involves creating iPSCs from PBMCs, lineage specific differentiation, epigenetic analysis, CRISPR/Cas9 based gene editing and other molecular biology techniques. Preference will be given to candidate with experience in molecular biology and cell culture techniques. Experience in stem cells culture and differentiation is a plus.
