We identify and define key mechanisms whereby extracellular matrix (ECM) components regulate molecular and cellular processes that control the onset, progression, and outcome of acute and chronic inflammatory disease. For example, we found that proteoglycans inhibit innate immune responses in the lung, cornea, and liver to limit inflammatory tissue injury, but that certain pathogens exploit these fundamental functions of proteoglycans to inhibit immune clearance and promote their pathogenesis. We are interested in cell-matrix and host-pathogen interactions that shape immune responses, tissue repair processes, and matrix remodeling mechanisms. Research in the Park Lab is multidisciplinary and takes advantage of genetically modified mice, primary cell cultures, engineered cell lines, high throughput technologies and diagnostics, and a wide range of molecular, biochemical, cellular, microbiological, glycobiological, structural, and histological techniques. The Research Assistant will be responsible for:

  • Performing experiments under supervision
  • Analyzing data, preparing charts, graphs, and cartoon models from the results of studies
  • Ordering of reagents, maintenance of lab in general
  • Animal care (splitting, breeding, weaning)
  • Depending on ability, leading a component of an NIH-funded research project
Requirements include:
  • Bachelor's Degree
  • One year of laboratory experience,
  • The ability to accurately follow experimental protocols
  • A goal-oriented attitude and approach
  • Experience or willingness to work with small animals is a plus.
  • The ability to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, and good organizational skills.
