Essential Duties and Responsibilities
Identify and recruit participants for clinical/observational studies, obtain informed consent, collect study data, and coordinate or track study activities.
Collect and process human and rodent tissue samples for analysis.
Acquire and analyze physiological data from humans and rodents (e.g., swallow studies).
Handle laboratory rodents and collect physiological data.
Organize, analyze, and summarize large experimental datasets using MS Excel, REDCap, and/or other data management and processing software.
Perform biochemical and molecular assays (e.g., histology, Western blot, RT-PCR, ELISA).
Prepare materials and equipment required for laboratory tests and experiments.
Manage tasks and coordinate research efforts across multiple Principal Investigators
Assist with funding acquisition and post-award management tasks
