Our studies aim to uncover the mechanisms that cause abnormalities in redox balance, signal transduction and/or accelerate arginine metabolism and impact nitric oxide (NO) production. The findings are all being applied to development of diagnostics and therapeutics for patient care. As a Research Technician on our team, you will perform laboratory techniques and procedures required for assigned experimental studies, assist with establishing and scheduling analyses, conduct tests using a range of laboratory equipment and instrumentation, and assemble experimental results for review by research staff.
