The Oyler-Yaniv and Lahav labs in Harvard Medical School’s Department of Systems Biology are looking for an intellectually engaged and highly motivated research assistant to support work on host-virus interactions and DNA damage responses. Both the Oyler-Yaniv and Lahav labs use quantitative, single-cell approaches to understand how cells make “decisions” that balance protection of the organism with avoidance of unnecessary damage. The Oyler-Yaniv lab focuses on host–virus interactions and the mechanisms that enable effective immune responses while limiting bystander tissue injury, while the Lahav lab studies how cells respond to DNA damage in ways that prevent cancer development without inappropriately eliminating cells with minor damage. A successful candidate will directly help to push these efforts by performing experiments with oversight from the labs’ PIs. Experiments will include, but are not limited to, cell culture and sterile technique, basic molecular biology, functional...

The Greenberg lab at Harvard Medical School examines how neuronal activity induced by sensory experience shapes the maturation and plasticity of the nervous system. Neuronal activity triggers a cascade of molecular signaling events in neurons, including modifications to the epigenome, transcriptome, and proteome, which promote long–lasting effects on the physiology and connectivity of neuronal networks. Our lab uses a combination of mouse genetics, human and primate stem cell-derived neuron models, biochemistry and sequencing technologies to uncover new mechanisms controlling these signaling events and to explore their significance during development, evolution, and in diseases of the nervous system.  Specifically, we are seeking assistance for projects  Uncovering human- and primate-specific aspects of the activity-dependent signaling pathway to understand cognitive evolution.  Studying the activity-dependent mechanisms underlying human diseases, specifically autism spectrum...
