Research Assistant positions is available at the newly funded Abu Dhabi Precision Medicine Virtual Research Institute (VRI) at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, United Arab Emirates University.
The arrival of genetic engineering has heralded the possibility of using gene therapy for the cure of innumerable human diseases into the dominion of reality. Retroviruses have the unique ability to integrate the gene of interest into the host DNA to provide long-term gene expression. This makes retroviral vectors a valuable tool for approximately a quarter of all human gene therapy trials. Employing retroviruses such as human, simian, and feline immunodeficiency viruses (HIV, SIV, & FIV), Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV), and mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV), the research program in Prof. Rizvi\xe2\x80\x99s laboratory is directed towards understanding molecular steps involved in retroviral replication. Knowledge gained from these studies is being used towards the development of safe and efficient gene transfer systems for human gene therapy that can correct genetic disorders caused by the mutation
This position is supported by an external grant and available for a period of 1 year with the possibility of renewing the contract on a yearly basis. The salary commensurate with training and experience and is competitive and tax-free.
