Research Analyst, Herman B Wells Center for Pediatric Research
Indiana University, Indianapolis, IN, United States
PED-PULMONARY BASIC RESEARCH (IN-PPLB-IUINA)
The Herman B Wells Center for Pediatric Research (Wells Center) conducts basic science and translational research within the Department of Pediatrics at Indiana University (IU) School of Medicine. The Wells Center houses more than 300 faculty investigators, staff, and trainees seeking answers to the most pressing questions related to childhood illness.
With the collaboration between scientists and physicians, the center aims to increase knowledge of causes and mechanisms of serious pediatric diseases. Our goal is to develop innovative approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of sick children in Indiana and beyond.
The role involves applying a range of experimental techniques to investigate biological processes and disease mechanisms. Key approaches used in this role include high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the analysis of lipids and amino acids, molecular assays to evaluate gene expression and cell signaling pathways, and the use of mutant mouse models and patient plasma samples to support translational research.
