Applications are invited for the post of Research Associate I under the supervision of Dr. Anshika Srivastava PI, Associate Professor Department of Medical Genetics, SGPGIMS. The title of the proposal is ​“Decoding the pathogenic role of ACTN2 and FLNC splice variants and developing preclinical model for dilated cardiomyopathy” funded by ANRF Govt. of India.

Srivastava lab is aimed at understanding the genetic basis and molecular mechanisms of developmental disorders. To understand the molecular mechanisms, we use the capabilities of cutting-edge technologies as genome engineering, ATAC sequencing and epigenetic profiling tools. We use cardiomyocytes as model system. The requirement for this project is generation of cardiomyocytes from patient fibroblasts and performing the molecular biology and biochemical assays on the generated models.

Design, validate, document, and troubleshoot laboratory experiments.

Responsible for analyzing and interpreting data using appropriate statistical methods.
