DNA cytometry of rare HIV+ cells

Iain Clark, Professor  
Bioengineering  

Closed. This professor is continuing with Fall 2024 apprentices on this project; no new apprentices needed for Spring 2025.

You will assist a PhD student mentor in developing a technology to isolate cells based on DNA markers of HIV. This technique builds off of Clark et al.’s 2023 publication “HIV silencing and cell survival signatures in infected T cell reservoirs.” This project will involve microfluidics, flow cytometry, and molecular biology. We are looking for a 12-15 hour/week commitment for this project during the Fall 2023 semester.

Role: Perform wet lab molecular biology experiments to develop a new sorting technology.

Qualifications: Experience with cell culture and molecular biology. A desire to learn microfluidics.

Day-to-day supervisor for this project: Sakshi Shah

Hours: 12 or more hours
