St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Department Of Virology And Molecular Biology Work Values

Daily Duties at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Department Of Virology And Molecular Biology:

I used various virology/molecular biology methods and techniques, including reverse genetics, in studies to further the organization's understanding of how pandemic influenza strains are derived and cause pathobiology. In addition, since the influenza A virus HA has a major role in the virulence, I studied its receptor specificity and host range restriction changes using mutagenesis of HA to show which changes were essential for transmission and which were not. Performed Bioinforamtics to study nucleotide sequence changes in influenza viruses. Routinely communicated research findings in departmental workshops. (> 15 attendees)

What they like about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Department Of Virology And Molecular Biology:

The social vibrance of a hiring firm is very important to you. Your ability to make and maintain friendships there is a critical part of your decision. You would likely be dissatisfied with a workplace that is quiet, cold, or otherwise not particularly social. When you investigate a new hiring company, ask recruiters, managers, and potential co-workers about the social life and opportunities there. This is especially important when you are relocating; moving dramatically alters your social sphere both inside and outside the workplace.
