Diploma work project:
Regulation of the Recombination Activating Gene locus
Diploma student position is available at the laboratory of Gene Regulation and
Molecular Immunology in the division of Cell Biology. The project studies the
regulation of the Recombination Activating Gene locus which is necessary for the
development of the adaptive immune system through the V(D)J recombination
process.

The work involves general DNA and RNA molecular biology techniques as well as
FISH, regular and real-time PCR, FACS analysis and sorting. Additionally, extensive
work with mice is involved and in particular the generation of transgenic and knockout mice.
Experience in any of the above is welcome but not essential: detailed training and
close supervision will be provided, in any case, in the beginning. Most important is
the willingness to learn and be trained and the flexibility to adapt to the specific
demands of this laboratory.
Good working practice (keeping of laboratory notebooks and protocols) important.
A cheerful and friendly attitude towards colleagues, mice and experiments essential.
English is essential.
