  Working with Dr. Sharon Stranford on a murine model of AIDS (MAIDS). We compare the differences in gene expression of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice when exposed to LP-BM5. We are particularly interested in the early stages of the immune response and the role of dendritic cells in the creation of either a tolerogenic or an immunogenic immune environment.Key skills: qPCR, gel electrophoresis, DNA/RNA/protein isolation, ELISA, mouse care and handling, lymph node and spleen dissections, flow-cytometry, MACS, and basic linear regressions on R-Studio.http://research.pomona.edu/stranford-lab/ Show less
