Research Assistant in Hematopoiesis and Stem Cell Biology
Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Department of Laboratory Medicine at Karolinska Institutet consists of seven divisions and is active in many areas of laboratory medicine to advance human health in both the short and long term. The department has close collaboration with Karolinska University Hospital and conducts advanced basic, clinical, and epidemiological research. It is one of the largest educational departments at Karolinska Institutet.
The Division of Clinical Immunology is currently seeking a highly ambitious and motivated research assistant with a background in biomedicine or a related field, and hands\-on experience in laboratory work. You will join the research group of Sidinh Luc, which focuses on the function and regulation of hematopoietic stem cells, as well as the mechanisms underlying development of leukemic stem cells and leukemia.
In this project, you will primarily work with hematopoietic stem cells from a leukemic model involving the BCR\-ABL1 oncogene, which is the primary cause of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). CML typically affects older individuals. An important aspect of the project will therefore be to investigate how stem cell aging influences leukemia development by analyzing bone marrow samples from elderly healthy donors and leukemia patients.
Your mission
As a research assistant, you will have a dynamic and responsible role. You will be in charge of genotyping and responsible for organizing and managing shared laboratory reagents, including ordering supplies. You will regularly conduct flow cytometry analyses to test and optimize new reagents and work with cell isolation. Experimental work with animal models is an important part of the role. Success in this role requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and in a team. You are expected to contribute positively to the research environment through collaboration, engagement, and curiosity.
The ideal candidate has a strong and genuine interest in research and an ambition to pursue doctoral studies.
Your profile
*Required qualifications*
- A Master’s degree in molecular and cell biology, biomedicine, or medicine
- High proficiency in English, both spoken and written
- Experience with flow cytometry
