Johns Hopkins School Of Medicine Work Values

Daily Duties at Johns Hopkins School Of Medicine:

I scientifically and financially managed a small research lab within the dermatology department. Our group was involved in two major research projects: (1) Role of midkine network in pathogenesis of NF1 and (2) biochemistry and molecular biology of p63 signaling in pathogenesis of ectodermal dysplasia. My particularly strong background in molecular biology and proteomics allowed me to apply these methods to analyze complex inherited disorders and identify specific molecular interactions associated with mutated proteins. In the past four years, our group published about 8 papers in peer review journals such as JBC, Nature Medicine, Cell Cycle, Cancer Cell and Cancer Research with high citation indexes. I was awarded two research grants. Moreover, we discovered the molecular mechanism for Hay Wells syndrome, a complex genetic disorder associated with aberrant splicing of the FGFR2 receptor, consequently linking p63 transcription, signaling and mRNA processing. During my tenure at the dermatology department, I learned many new techniques including: allele-specific "knock in" of p63 mutations in ES mouse cells, screening and propagation of ES cells, maintaining Chimera mice and establishing mice colonies, expression of heterological proteins (splicing and transcription factors) in adenoviral vectors, targeted "knockout" of receptor genes by shRNAi expressed

What they like about Johns Hopkins School Of Medicine:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
