These models encompass a diverse array, such as xenografts, orthotopic placements, and patient-derived xenografts (PDX). You will take on a central role in the initiation, supervision, and management of experimental rodent models. This includes executing delicate survival surgeries and assuming comprehensive responsibility for all facets of animal studies, encompassing precise dose administration of therapeutic agents as well as radioactive compounds. A critical aspect of this position involves conducting meticulous model characterization assays. These assays encompass a spectrum of techniques, ranging from advanced histopathological analyses utilizing immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, to intricate autoradiography, flow cytometry, and ELISA procedures. Furthermore, the incumbent will collaborate closely with the imaging center to proficiently execute preclinical imaging studies utilizing techniques such as PET, SPECT, CT, and Optical imaging. In addition to the scientific responsibilities, the incumbent will play an integral role in maintaining the operational flow of the laboratory. This includes managing the procurement and consumption of laboratory supplies, overseeing and coordinating the schedules of work-study students, and upkeeping and submitting updates for animal care protocols and radiation usage authorization.
