Research Technologist
Johns Hopkins University
We are seeking a Research Technologist to be a member of the study team and assist with various laboratory and data analysis duties. The study: 'A Human-based Approach to Determine the “Cross-Reactivity” of Developmental Immunotoxicants on Neurodevelopment' is researching the 'cross-reactivity' of developmental immunotoxicants on neurodevelopment, advanced cellular models like human monocyte-derived macrophages, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived microglia, and iPSC-derived brain organoids which offer promising avenues for research. Understanding these complex interactions is crucial for assessing the risks of environmental exposures and developing targeted strategies to protect against developmental neurotoxicity. The technologist will work under the direction of the Principal Investigator.
