Animal husbandry to maintain several species of emerging model flatworms and related invertebrates.
Working with the Invertebrate Culture Facility to develop and implement more automated, standardized husbandry workflows.
Characterizing life-cycle traits and regenerative capabilities across diverse flatworm species (including phenotyping with immunohistochemistry and
in situ
hybridization, and performing genetic perturbations with CRISPR and RNAi).
Performing molecular cloning using techniques such as bacterial transformation, minipreps, PCR, gel electrophoresis, restriction digestion, Golden Gate assembly, and Gibson assembly.
