The Levi lab%26rsquo;s mission is to improve the lives of people living with skin and musculoskeletal injuries and diseases through rigorous science and compassion. Current projects in the Levi laboratory are related to the molecular biology behind tissue fibrosis and the repair and regeneration process in tendon, muscle, and bone. The laboratory integrates multiomics-based approaches with investigations of musculoskeletal development, homeostasis, repair, and regeneration. The laboratory uses transgenic animal models combined with bioinformatic approaches to understand the cell-cell interactions that occur within the stem cell niche under physiological conditions and strives to understand how these divergent signaling mechanisms may guide future therapeutic strategies to promote faithful repair of damaged tissue.%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp style=%22font-family: Arial;%22%3EThe Levi Lab is looking for a Research Scientist with an Osteosarcoma focus to join the team who is willing to commit to at least two years. The Research Scientist will support ongoing bench and animal work within the lab related to tendon injury/fibrosis, muscle injury/fibrosis or bone/tendon/muscle regeneration. Duties will include routine molecular bench work combined with the use of animal models (animal handling, injections, surgeries, sample collection) as well as downstream processing (histology, immunofluorescent stain and confocal imaging, flow cytometry, cell culture, single cell and bulk RNA sequencing) under supervision of the PI.%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cp style=%22font-family: Arial;%22%3E%3Cstrong%3ELaboratory Expectations%3C/strong%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cul%3E%0A%3Cli style=%22font-family: Arial;%22%3ERoutine molecular bench work combined with the use of animal models%3C/li%3E%0A%3Cli style=%22font-family: Arial;%22%3EAnimal handling, injections, modified diet maintenance, surgeries, and sample collection%3C/li%3E%0A%3Cli style=%22font-family: Arial;%22%3EDownstream processing%3C/li%3E%0A%3Cli style=%22font-family: Arial;%22%3EHistology, immunofluorescent stain and confocal imaging, flow cytometry, and work with cell cultures and single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing%3C/li%3E%0A%3C/ul%3E%0A%3Cp style=%22font-family: Arial;%22%3E%3Cstrong%3EPreferred Experience%3C/strong%3E%3C/p%3E%0A%3Cul%3E%0A%3Cli style=%22font-family: Arial;%22%3EAble to utilize a variety of molecular biology techniques, including but not limited to PCR, qPCR, western blotting, RNA/DNA extraction, cloning, CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing, and next generation sequencing.%3C/li%3E%0A%3Cli style=%22font-family: Arial;%22%3EExperience with animal handling, animal breeding, genotyping, and animal surgery.%3C/li%3E%0A%3Cli style=%22font-family: Arial;%22%3EExperience with single-cell transcriptomic analyses.%26nbsp;
