STUDENT OR PROFESSIONAL POSITION AVAILABLE
We currently have NIH funds available to either fully support a
doctoral student or to partially support a technician or a postdoctoral
fellow. We are working towards understanding the enzymology of eggshell
formation in S. mansoni in order to develop strategies to prevent or
eliminate schistosomiasis. The specific projects we are working on are
the cloning and characterization of phenol oxidases from these
parasites. Our approach includes molecular (northern, Southern, western
blotting techniques) and biochemical and immunological approaches
(immunohistochemical staining, protein purification). Interested
individuals should send a CV or copy of university transcripts
(photocopy acceptable), list of references, and copies of no more than 3
recent papers to:
