The Walter Lab at the CAMM Molecular Core is seeking a full-time Research Assistant who will conduct molecular biology assays as part of research into the development of novel RNA-based biomarkers of treatment response in tuberculosis (TB). This individual will execute complex laboratory protocols involving RNA and cDNA as part of experiments aimed at quantifying extremely low abundance transcripts in complex sample types, including , murine, and human samples. The Consortium for Applied Microbial Metrics (CAMM) is a multi-institutional translational collaboration that is developing practical new solutions to accelerate drug and regimen development for tuberculosis and other bacterial diseases. Our focus is on the development of novel molecular measures of treatment response in TB based on RNA. This is translational collaborative research in which the ultimate goal is a practical biomarker that will accelerate TB clinical trials. We use a variety of quantification methods (RT-qPCR, RNAseq, and droplet digital PCR) to study drug impact on in , murine, and human studies. Our goal is to identify patterns of pathogen RNA that are associated with specific drug exposures and with clinical outcomes such as patient relapse. This work integrates microbiologic insight into pathogen physiology with high-throughput transcriptional analysis and human clinical data. The CAMM Molecular Core at the University of Colorado's Anschutz Medical Campus is committed to the highest standards in research reproducibility and transparency. This position does not involve work with live bacteria.
