    Description
    Department Overview


    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.

    Function/Duties of Position

    Uncontrolled inflammation generates significant morbidity and mortality in many infectious (e.g. HIV) and non-infectious (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease) diseases.

    By utilizing non-human primate models of human disease (both viral and non-viral etiology), the Estes Laboratory works to elucidate determinants of local and systemic inflammation leading to tissue pathology, disease progression, and viral reservoir persistence, as well as tests therapeutics to modulate the immune landscape, restore immune homeostasis, and reduce viral reservoirs.


    This position will be responsible for prepping and organizing samples for active in-vivo studies in addition to database maintenance of current and archival samples.

    This position also will assist in histopathology duties in support of the Laboratory's Scientific Program, including:

    processing and embedding tissues, microtomy from FFPE tissues, directed immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and imaging using an array of platforms, and maintaining laboratory and equipment under direct supervision.

    The ideal candidate will have histotechnology and/or relevant research lab experience. Imperative characteristics such as great attention to detail, good manual dexterity, and organization skills.

    Required Qualifications


    • Bachelor's in any field OR Associate's degree (2 yr.) AND 2 years relevant experience OR
    • 3 years of relevant experience.
    • Excellent organization skills.
    • Able to perform repetitive tasks with great attention to detail.
