Posting Description

TECHNICAL ASSOCIATE II, Biological Engineering-Tal Group, to research comparative predictive diagnostics for infection-associated chronic illnesses (viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens) through deep immunoinflammatory profiling.  Will investigate antibody levels and ratiometric scores against key pathogen classes that may drive symptoms after infection; optimize flow-based immunoprofiling (FLIP) analysis for different pathogen targets and analyze antibody results; optimize, execute, and analyze/interpret high-resolution flow cytometry assays; perform Luminex antibody assays and analyze/interpret data; and culture Borrelia burgdorferi and execute in vitro experiments as needed.  There will be occasional biobanking of clinical study participant samples and assisting with clinical study participant visits.
