Baylor College Of Medicine Work Values

Daily Duties at Baylor College Of Medicine:

Identified several interacting molecules involved in signaling mechanism(s) to known Parkinson’s disease and Parkinsonism genes. Various domains of Parkin (PARK2), Lrrk2 (PARK8), GIGYF2 (PARK11), and HtrA2 (PARK13) were used in Yeast-Two-Hybrid system for screening of interacting molecules. 1) Molecular biology: cDNA library screening and gene cloning (cloned over 100 human cDNA). RT-PCR, DNA sequence analyses, SNP identification and standard molecular biology techniques. 2) Protein-Protein interaction in Yeast-two-hybrid system. Protein expression studies by co-affinity purification assays. 3) Designed and prepared several expression clones in various expression vectors to use in cell culture study. 4) Give research training to juniors (students and research staff).

What they like about Baylor College Of Medicine:

You highly value a work environment built on a formal structure, rules, and regulations. You do not enjoy the unpredictability of shifting priorities and deadlines that upset your routine. You require and enjoy direction, input and accountability as part of your work environment. You have a strong need to participate in making key decisions and feel left out if your superiors or co-workers do not seek your input when making decisions. You thrive on providing good customer service to both internal or external customers, and doing so makes you feel good.
