- The Laboratory of Structural Biology and Biophysics, led by Steve Bonilla, is dedicated to unraveling the fundamental physical principles that govern the three-dimensional shape and dynamic behavior of RNA molecules.
- To achieve this goal, we employ a wide range of cutting-edge tools and techniques, including cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM), single-molecule FRET, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), as well as other biophysical and structural biology methods, alongside functional assays.
- The research assistant will support research conducted at the Laboratory of Structural Biology and Biophysics, assisting with molecular biology and structural characterization of RNA and RNprotein complexes.
- Producing RNA by in vitro transcription and purify by gel electrophoresis
- Preparing samples for cryo-EM studies
- Ability to plan and perform molecular biology experiments including primer design, PCR, gel electrophoresis, DNA extraction, cloning, and sequencing
- Familiarity with protein purification
- Experience with cryo-electron microscopy is a plus
