People in the Lab

Postdoctoral fellows

Hailing Liao - Dr. Liao joined the lab in September 2002 and brought her expertise in molecular mechanisms of atherosclerosis and superb technical ability in all things molecular. She has established an RNAi system for HNF4 to help us study its target genes and function in liver cells.

If you would like to pursue postdoctoral studies in our laboratory, please send a CV, statement of research interests and three letters of recommendation. Experience in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and/or transcription regulation is helpful but not essential.

Graduate Students

Joanna Camba-Colon - Joanna currently a Ph.D. candidate in Cell, Molecular and Developmental Biology, entered the lab in July 2002 bringing with her years of experience as a technician working with the AIDS virus in Los Angeles. Since October 2002 she has been working on the phosphorylation of HNF4.

Technical Staff

Jane Evans - a Staff Research Associate. Jane is our lab manager and general keeper of all things important in the lab. In addition to working on characterization of antisera and sending out of HNF4 reagents, she performs Westerns and immunoprecipitations to characterize HNF4 in a variety of sources including cell lines and tissues. She won a Spot Award in Spring 2003 for performance above and beyond the call of duty while Dr. Sladek was on sabbatical in Paris, France.

Lab Helpers

Periodically we are in need of a responsible, conscientious lab helper to help with making solutions, preparation of plasmid DNA, etc. Previous lab experience or a lab class is preferred. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Sladek by e-mail to set up an appointment.
