JOB REQUIREMENTS: Position Description: Purpose Using spleen tissue, the life gift from the transplant organ donors, Chen Lab aims to reconstitute human immune response in vitro. The Chen Lab in the Department of OB/GYN and Center for Immunology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, is seeking a motivated and dedicated Research Technologist III (Research Technician) to join our research team. Our unique platform enables us to test hundreds of different conditions in parallel and assess their impacts on human immune responses, such as antibody production. We routinely work with industry partners to exploit the translational potential of the spleen organoid screening system. Meanwhile, working with the Versiti Blood Research Institute, we are building up a spleen biobank to investigate populational diversity in immune response. We aim to leverage the systemic and causative understanding of human immune system to inform the rationale design of vaccine and immunotherapy. Primary Functions Process and bank human spleens distributed from the Organ Processing Organization (Versiti Blood Research Institute). Maintain spleen organoid cultures Perform screening using a laboratory robot. Perform routine experiments and daily work timely and independently, including cellular and molecular biology experiments, fluorescence imaging studies, etc. Collect, analyze, and report experimental data with accurate records.
