Tulane University Work Values

Daily Duties at Tulane University:

Research focus on atherosclerosis, diabetes-associated cardiovascular complications, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and vascular remodeling-related pathophysiology. I have done experience in performing procedures on animals, including minipump implantation, animal tissue dissection/collection, administering anesthesia and analgesics, blood collection, and some small animal surgery. I worked expertise in molecular biology and biochemistry techniques, including the use of adenovirus and RNA interference methods, RT-PCR, Co-IP, and ChIP assays. Experience in mouse colony breeding is highly desirable. I work some expertise with immunohistochemical/morphological staining and tissue sectioning. I did with experience in cell culture (isolation and culture of primary vascular cells - endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts).

What they like about Tulane University:

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.
