<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">T cells represent a critical component in immune protection
from infectious agents such as viruses and bacteria. The Koelle lab, in the
Department of Medicine, specializes in uncovering the unique targets and
functional characteristics of pathogen-specific T cells. They currently study T
cells in the context of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), human herpesviruses (e.g.
genital and oral herpes, chickenpox, shingles), Merkel cell polyomavirus (a
skin oncovirus), Treponema pallidum (Syphilis), and Chlamydia trachomatis, and
support Clinical Trials that evaluate vaccines.</p>

undergraduate for a Student Researcher position. Genuine interest and curiosity
about microbiology and immunology, or bioinformatic processing of “big data”,
is important, regardless of the student’s career goals. Preference is given for
a late Sophomore to Junior who has some time left expected at UW so they can
learn the ropes and progress. Appropriate training in lab techniques and safety
requirement will be given. Must be up to date on hepatitis B vaccination prior
to working with human samples.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The student researcher would learn and assist with
immunological assays, molecular biology, and other general tasks. The core
duties include performing ELISA assays to measure cytokine levels. Other duties
could include preparing DNA from blood specimens, maintaining computer logs,
and assisting with routine molecular biology tasks such as molecular cloning,
plasmid DNA extraction, DNA sequencing and, as skills progress, cell culture
and cell-based assays. Commitment would be 10-20 hours a week. </p>

interest in biological sciences and/or medicine, specifically vaccines,
microbiology, immunology, and infectious diseases, b) some experience with
hands-on lab coursework, c) an aptitude with math including large and small
numbers/exponential notation (there will be a four-operation BASIC math quiz at
the interview), d) familiarity with Excel and Windows/Mac OS and file
structures, e) hand-eye coordination and ability to use a binocular microscope,
f) great interpersonal and communication skills including voice, text, and
email and a commitment to staying in touch. Experience in computer programming
in R or Python is a plus. </p>

higher volume, more routine work tasks and sticking to a schedule with defined
hours. Interested students can progress to undergrad research “499” projects
around their senior year after they get familiar with the in-lab science.
Student helpers are welcome to join lab meetings (usually Monday AM) if their
schedule allows. The lab is based in the Center for Emerging and Re-Emerging
Infectious Diseases, close to UW Microbiology and Immunology Depts at the UW
SLU Campus (750 Republican Street). A shuttle service runs to the main UW
