Responsibilities
The Sammarco lab, in the Department of Orthopedics, focuses on limb regeneration after traumatic injury, investigating mechanisms underlying impaired regeneration and identifying therapeutics to activate latent regenerative abilities or improve the integration of prosthetics. The overall goal is to improve quality of life for people with limb loss or limb differences. Dr. Sammarco and her team in the Limb and Musculoskeletal Regenerative Research Laboratory use a mouse model of digit tip amputation to understand the complex interactions of a multi-tissue regenerative system and identify the mechanisms that drive cell differentiation and patterning during the regenerative process. Current projects focus on 1) mitochondrial remodeling and metabolism during limb regeneration and patterning, 2) the role of sensory nerves in bone and soft tissue regeneration, and 3) the impact of inflammation during regenerative healing and fibrotic scarring.
The Senior Research Tech would support ongoing bench and animal work within the lab related to regeneration. Duties would include routine molecular bench work combined with use of animal models (animal handling, injections, surgeries, sample collection) as well as downstream processing (histology, flow cytometry, cell culture) under supervision of the PI. Candidate should be highly goal and detail oriented and have strong teamwork skills. Training will be provided on many in-lab techniques but previous experience working with mice and some molecular technique is highly preferred.
