Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Research Technologist to lead our noninvasive fetal sequencing project (NIFS). Standard noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) relies on cell-free DNA (cf DNA) analysis from maternal plasma but is restricted to detecting common aneuploidies and some microdeletions. We have developed a high-resolution, noninvasive fetal sequencing approach that can detect clinically significant fetal variants with comparable accuracy to NIPT, eliminating the procedural risk of invasive testing.
The candidate will be responsible for optimizing our current NIFS protocol to improve our cf DNA recovery and to validate those results against the current diagnostic gold standard.
The Talkowski Laboratory in the Center for Genomic Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard are seeking a motivated, enthusiastic, experienced leader to join our research teams. Our group explores the impact of genomic variation on human disease, with a particular focus on the relationship between genome structure and function. We are dedicated to the development and application of innovations in genome sequencing technologies and genetic diagnostics. Our research has shown that we can use NGS techniques to more fully capture prenatal.
The candidate will be expected to have experience or a high capacity to learn the following techniques:
* Handling of human blood-derived samples, including isolation of plasma and buffy coat under sterile and reproducible conditions.
* Sample processing, labeling, and biobanking under rigorous quality control and contamination-prevention measures consistent with good laboratory practice (GLP) standards.
* Extraction and robust handling of cell-free DNA (cf DNA) and genomic DNA (gDNA) from plasma, blood, and human tissues.
* Next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation for low-input cf DNA/gDNA samples and target hybridization protocols for exome and custom sequencing panels.
* Sanger sequencing, gel electrophoresis, PCR, and qPCR-based assays for cf DNA quantification, variant detection, and workflow validation.
* NGS library quality control and assessment, including quantification and fragment size analysis.
* Accurate sample tracking and documentation across all stages of processing and analysis.
Does this position require Patient Care? No
Essential Functions
* Perform DNA/RNA extraction from blood samples (incl. whole blood, buffy coat, plasma).
* Perform other molecular genomics procedures as needed (i.e., sequencing library production, target hybridization, RNAseq, sample archiving, tissue culture, etc.)
* Learn and perform any number of molecular genomics techniques, including single-cell RNAseq (sc RNAseq), ATACseq, ChIPseq, HiC, and other methods
* Independently performs non-routine, highly specialized experimental procedures.
* Participates in the design and modification of research protocols.
* Develops research methodologies within the parameters of experimental protocols and research objectives.
* Composes and may present sections of research reports and manuscripts.

Research technician job in Boston, MA
The Research Technician will assist scientists in performing scientific research, development and/or clinical tasks of varying complexity. In general, they will assist in the set up, operation and maintenance of laboratory instruments and equipment, monitoring experiments, making observations and calculating and recording results.
The D'Andrea Lab investigates the mechanisms underlying chromosome instability and cancer susceptibility. Our research focuses on the molecular signaling pathways that regulate the DNA damage response in mammalian cells. Disruption of these pathways-whether through germline or somatic mutations-can lead to genomic instability, sensitivity to ionizing radiation, and defects in cell cycle checkpoints and DNA repair. Such alterations are frequently observed in cancer and contribute to increased mutation rates and tumor progression. The lab employs a wide range of innovative technologies to measure DNA damage responses in cancer cell lines, including cytotoxicity assays and proteomic biomarker analyses.
The Research Technician will support postdoctoral fellows and scientists in conducting experiments of varying complexity. Responsibilities include assisting with the setup, operation, and maintenance of laboratory equipment; monitoring experiments; collecting and analyzing data; and maintaining accurate records.
