Part-time Technician (Jasmin Lab)
General Information: |
The laboratory of Dr. Jasmin is a fast paced and extremely productive lab committed to excellence in research, and we are currently looking for a part-time technician to help with one of our many projects. Due to covid restrictions (i.e. the number of people allowed to work at any one point within the laboratory), we can only offer a part-time contract at this time. This position will involve a cancer related project, so experience in this field would be an asset but not required. The successful candidate however, should have experience with Mammalian Cell Culture, Protein extraction and quantification, Western blot, RNA extraction and quantification, PCR, and qPCR as well as other cell biology techniques. Working with and handling mice will also be required, so previous experience would be an asset but not required as training can be provided. If you are interested or know of someone who is, please send your CV to Dr. Shekoufeh Almasi at salmasi@uottawa.ca |

Postdoctoral Position
General Information: |
Postdoctoral positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Xiaohui Zha at Ottawa Hospital Research Institute/University of Ottawa*, Canada (http://www.ohri.ca/profile/Zha). |
Project Description: |
The project is to study the mechanisms by which cholesterol regulates macrophage inflammation, a key event in atherosclerosis. Cholesterol, a major component of the plasma membrane in mammalian cells, predominantly regulates membrane physical properties. Most likely through its modulation of cellular membranes, cholesterol impacts numerous signal transduction pathways and cellular processes. Particularly, cholesterol levels in macrophages determine the nature of the inflammation response, for example, pro-inflammatory response (M1), anti-inflammatory (M2) or anything in between. The mechanism is largely unknown. In recent years, it is increasingly apparent that macrophages can respond to environmental cues to establish an epigenetically “poised” state. This allows macrophages to rapidly launch a large-scale gene expression program upon stimulation (i.e. LPS). The project will use biochemistry and genomic techniques, such as RNA-seq and ChIP-seq, to understand how cholesterol establishes epigenetically “poised” states in the genome of the macrophages to regulate gene expression for inflammatory responses. |
