Rotation Projects: Rotation projects are available to study chromatin structure and function. Project 1. Measure histone dynamics in yeast. Histone dynamics play major roles in chromatin metabolism and in the inheritance of chromatin states. To measure histone replacement rates in yeast, we have created yeast strains carrying inducible epitope-tagged histones H3 and H2A. Using microarrays, we will measure histone replacement rates in a variety of mutant yeast to ascertain the role of various chromatin remodeling factors in histone exchange reactions. Project 2. Characterize mechanisms for epigenetic inheritance in yeast. We have identified a variety of genes whose expression state in yeast is epigenetically heritable. We will screen the yeast genome for genes that affect the inheritance of these expression patterns. Project 3. Measure histone dynamics in embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent cells that can give rise to every type of cell in the adult animal. The role of chromatin structure in maintaining this pluripotent state is poorly understood, but it appears that stem cell chromatin is exceptionally labile relative to that in differentiated cells. We will create stem cell lines with inducible tagged histones to measure histone replacement rates across the mouse genome.

Rotation Projects: Rotation Projects Our rotation projects are in the area of diabetes and obesity, and we are interested in basic mechanisms of cell proliferation, differentiation and communication. Diabetes is highly correlated with obesity, but why obesity causes disease in some humans and not others is not understood. Amazingly, we still don’t understand how adipose tissue grows in human adults. A better understanding of this fascinating process can give us insight into basic mechanisms of cell growth, differentiation and communication, as well as mechanisms of disease, not only diabetes but also cancer and developmental defects. During your rotation, you will work on an important piece of a larger project, that has a well-defined outcome. Thus, your successful completion of the rotation project will allow you to be included at the time of publication of the work. Project 1: Adipose tissue is not only formed by adipocytes, but by other cells such as endothelial, mural and immune cells. Also, there are multiple kinds of adipocytes with different functions. We have recently developed conditions to develop adipose tissue from humans in-vitro (adipose tissue “organoids”). From this tissue we have been able to separated single cells, and find that they grow into different kinds of clones. We are now conducting RNAseq on >300 of those clones, to determine how many cell types exist in human adipose tissue, and what their roles are. In this rotation, you will be able to analyze RNAseq data to define what genes characterize these cells, and you will use virus transduction to create immortalized cells for further study. Project 2: Adipose tissue has many functions besides storing and releasing lipids. It also has to coordinate metabolism in the whole body. We have found that human “beige” adipose tissue, which is found in people who are metabolically healthy, expresses genes for secreted factors that communicate with the immune system and the brain. These include IL-33 and enkephalins. In t…

Post Docs: The Melikian Lab seeks a creative and motivated PhD neurobiologist to join our investigative team to study the mechanisms that govern addictive and motivated behaviors, with a focus on circuits that converge on and modulate dopaminergic terminals. We leverage intersectional approaches spanning from molecules to behavior, and utilize mouse genetic, viral, optogenetic and photometric methods. We are seeking postdoctoral applicants with a strong track record of productivity, who will take the lead on a novel project. Applicants will optimally have experience in mouse handling and modern neurobiology approaches (e.g. optogenetics, photometry), but other strong candidates will also be considered. The Neurobiology Department at UMASS Chan Medical School is the hub of a vibrant multidisciplinary neuroscience community, with research strengths in neuropsychiatric disorders, neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, neuroplasticity, and neurodevelopment. Under the leadership of our recently appointed Chair, Dr. Danny Winder, the department provides an exceptional and interactive training environment that emphasizes team science in a diverse and inclusive space. Interested applicants should submit a CV and names of three references to Dr. Melikian: haley(dot)melikian(at)umassmed(dot)edu.
Rotation Projects: Potential Rotation Projects 1. Dopamine Transporter (DAT) Trafficking in Cocaine Addiction DAT is a membrane protein in dopamine (DA) axon teminals whose primary function is to remove released dopamine and thereby terminate synpatic transmission. Addictive psychostimulants, such as cocaine, block DAT function, which increases extracellular DA and is responsible for cocaine's addictive properties. DAT is not static at the plasma membrane, but is dynamically regulated by membrane traffficking. This project is to determine whether DAT membrane trafficking is required for cocaine addiction. Our lab has developed a novel, AAV-mediated, in vivo molecular replacement strategy, that replaces wildytpe DAT with DAT trafficking dysregulated mutants in adult mice. There are 2 possible rotation projects: Project 1a: Rotation students will assist in behaviorally assessing replacement mice as compared to controls, and will additionally use immumohistochemical approaches to validate mutant protein expression in dopamine neurons in situ. Students will gain experience in mouse behavior, brain dissection, preparation of brain slices, and immunhistochemical techniques in mouse brain. Project 1b: Rotation students will develop a CRISPR/Cas9 guide RNA in order to perform gene editing and mutate DAT in vivo, and will test its efficacy in vitro. Students will learn guide RNA design, and mammalian tissue culture, and genomic sequencing. Cocaine's Synaptic Actions at the Dopamine Transporter. Synaptic models. (A) Dopamine released into the extracellular space is rapidly cleared by the dopamine transporter (purple), thereby limiting the postsynaptic dopamine signal. (B) Cocaine binds to and blocks the dopamine transporter, allowing dopamine to accumulate extracellularly and enhancing the postsynaptic signal.
Rotation Projects: 2. Modulatory glutamate signaling: impact on motor function, novelty, and cocaine addiction Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, but also has a modulatory role by signaling through metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). Recent work from our laboratory revealed that mGluR5 expression in DA neurons is required for DA signaling and several DA-dependent behaviors including motor learning and cocaine reward. However, the circuit- and mechanistic-specific underpinnings of these processes are unkonwn. Using a novel conditional knockout model, we are leveraging genetically encoded DA sensors to determine how DAergic mGluR5 impacts DA neuron function and DA-dependent behaviors in mice. Rotation students will learn to behaviorally assess cocaine addiction in this mouse model, and will learn immunohistochemical approaches to validate viral expression Cocaine Fails to increase DA in mGluR5-DA-silenced mice. Fiber photometry using genetically-encoded DA sensors during cocaine response. Control or mGluR5-DA-silenced mice were injected with 7.5 mg/kg cocaine and DA signals were recorded in the nucleus accumbens using dLight 1.2 sensor. Control mice: Cocaine caused a significant increase in the total DA signal from 3-5 min post-injection as compared to saline-injections. mGluR5-DA-silenced mice: Cocaine failed to significantly increase DA signals. *p<0.05, paired Student's t test, n=4-5.
Rotation Projects: 3. Nociceptin: A neuropeptide that impacts cocaine sensitivity Nociceptin is an endogenous opiate-like neuropeptide that is implicated in pain and reward motivation. Recent studies suggest that nociceptin has the capacity to block cocaine's initial addictive properties, but the mechanisms underlying nociceptin's actions are largely unknown. Work in our lab has discovered that nociceptin blocks cocaine reward, and does so by acting directly on DA axon terminals in the nucleus accumbens, the brain's "reward center". In addition, our results suggest that nociceptin likely shifts cocaine sensitivity, and does so by controlling reward tone differentially in males vs. females. These exciting results may pave the way towards harnesing nociceptin signaling as a potential addiction therapeutic. However, the mechanisms underlying nociceptin's actions are unknown, nor is it known whether nociceptin specificallly impacts cocaine reward, or other drugs of abuse. There are two possible rotation projects: Project 3a: Impact of nociceptin signaling on other drugs of abuse. Students will conduct addiction behavioral assays while infusing nociceptin directly into the nucleus accumbens in mice. Students will learn mouse handling and stereotaxic surgery, and mouse behavioral assays. Project 3b: Sex-specific differences in nociceptin signalig. Students will use RT-qPCR to test whether males and female mouse midbrain neurons express differing amounts of the nociceptin receptor, NOPR. Students will learn mouse handling skills, brain harvesting, and RT-qPCR. Nociceptin infusion into the nucleus accumbens blocks cocaine preference in females. Conditioned Place Preference Assay (CPP). Wildtype female mice received either saline or 10mg/kg cocaine (I.P.) and were trained for 3 days in a 3-chambered CPP aparatus, while being infused with either vehicle or 500nM nociceptin. Preference scores were determined on test days. Control-infused mice exhibited signifiant preference to the cocaine-paired…

Rotation Projects: Potential Rotation Projects <p >Rotations are available in Dr. Rock’s laboratory for graduate students in the GSBS program. The rotation projects will explore various aspects of how the immune system carries out surveillance to detect viral infections and cancers. Among the potential areas of research are: (1) The alarm signals that alert the immune system to potential danger; (2) The initial innate immune and inflammatory response to infection or other dangerous situations; (3) The biology of the sentinel cells (e.g. dendritic cells) that sense danger and report it the adaptive immune system; (4) The mechanisms by which sentinel cells (e.g. dendritic cells) acquire and display antigens to T cells; and, (5) The antigen presentation pathways by which virally infected or cancer cells display a sampling of their expressed gene products to the activated T cells. Specific rotation projects are chosen based on the student’s interests and state/availability of the various projects in the laboratory. The goals of rotations are for the student to gain knowledge in immunology, to learn how to approach experimental problems, to learn new techniques and methods, and to actually generate data that moves our knowledge forward. In addition, the rotation provides the student the opportunity to evaluate the laboratory as a possible place to conduct their thesis research in the future.

Post Docs: POSTDOCTORAL POSITION: RNAI PRECLINICAL DEVELOPMENT Excellent training opportunity for a person considering industrial carrier in drug development Oligonucleotides represent a new class of drugs, which have the promise to become a major class of future therapeutics. There are several classes of oligonucleotides which can efficiently silence genes in various tissues with acceptable level of toxicity. There are also new chemistries being developed to further improve oligonucleotide tissue distribution and cellular uptake. The successful candidate will be a key part of an intra-disciplinary team working with biologists and chemists to develop novel types of therapeutics for treatment of neurological disease, liver disease and orphan indications. The work will include compounds identification, screening, characterization, in vivo efficacy and PK/PD studies, novel assays development etc. In addition exposure and training in nucleic acid pre-clinical development, project management etc will be provided. QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants must have (or expect to obtain shortly) a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology or a related field , be bright, ambitious, independent and collaborative and ideally, have research experience in nucleic acid molecular cell biology or pharmacology.
Post Docs: RNAI MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY/ RNA OLIGONUCLEOTIDE CHEMISTRY Develop and characterize novel RNA chemistries to promote efficient oligonucleotide internalization and tissue distribution. Oligonucleotides represent a new class of drugs, which have the promise to become a major class of future therapeutics. There are several chemistries and formulations developed by us and others that effectively support oligo internalization and favorable PK/PD. In most cases in vivo efficacy is limited by (1) poor PK (2) inefficient tissue distribution (3) compound entrapment in biologically inactive intracellular compartments. The objective of future studies will be development of novel chemistries, which promote receptor mediated cellular internalization and/ or endosomal escape. The successful candidate will be responsible for the design and synthesis of novel RNA precursors, optimization of RNA synthesis and conjugation protocols and interface with the biology part of the lab. In addition, exposure to pre-clinical development programs and oligonucleotide manufacturing will be available. QUALIFICATIONS: Applicants must have (or expect to obtain shortly) a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology or a related field , be bright, ambitious, independent and collaborative and have previous experience in nucleic acid / oligonucleotide chemistry.
Post Docs: SMALL RNA TRAFFICKING Discover, characterize and adapt mechanisms of small RNA extracellular and intracellular trafficking for development of novel classes of oligonucleotide drugs. A serious limitation in realizing the potential of oligonucleotide based therapies has been the exceedingly inefficient transit of oligonucleotides from outside cells to the intracellular compartments where the biologically relevant activity happens. On the other hand, there are multiple lines of evidence supporting the notion that nature has implemented evolutionarily conserved mechanisms and pathways for efficiently trafficking small RNAs across cellular boundaries. The objective of future studies will be the systematic evaluation of mechanisms of cellular uptake of different classes of oligonucleotides and their comparison to mechanisms of native RNA trafficking using a combination of experimental approaches, including advanced RNA chemistry and high temporal and spatial resolution microscopy in living cells, Mass spectrometry, cell biology and others. The successful candidate will work closely with Victor Ambros and Silvia Corvera labs and the UMASS imaging group and receive training in RNA chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology and pre-clinical development. QUALIFICATIONS:Applicants must have (or expect to obtain shortly) a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology or a related field , be bright, ambitious, independent and collaborative and ideally, have research experience in nucleic acid molecular and cell biology

Rotation Projects: Rotation Project Background
Rotation Projects: In yeast cells, protein translocation across the endoplasmic reticulum can occur by cotranslational or posttranslational pathways. The objective of this project is to develop a rapid method to inactivate the posttranslational pathway in vivo in yeast cells by appending the CMV-ribosome stalling sequence to the C-terminus of a typical posttranslational translocation substrate (carboxypeptidase Y). Complexes between the posttranslational translocation channel (SEC complex) and the stalled ribosomes will be purified for structural and functional analysis.

Rotation Projects: Potential Rotation Projects Project #1: Lipid-Layer Protein Crystallization for Electron Microscopy.While individual protein molecules can be readily visualized by EM, structural information is greatly enhanced if the molecules can by crystallized into 2-dimensional ordered arrays. Methods for achieving this are well established, making use of lipid monolayers at an air-water interface. Follow literature methods to crystallize "standard" proteins using the lipid-layer method. Observe results by electron microscopy following negative staining. If time permits, carry out preliminary image processing of micrographs and/or crystallization of unknown proteins. Techniques to be learned: lipid layer crystallization methods; grid preparation; use of electron microscope; image processing.

Rotation Projects: ? Rotation Projects Multiple rotation projects are available in several areas related to long-range gene regulation and higher order chromosome organization. Projects include thorough analyses of the biochemical mechanisms of long-range gene regulation of specific disease-related genes, as well as large-scale analyses of chromosome organization using high-throughput genomics technologies (5C and Hi-C). The lab employs a wide range of experimental approaches, including cell culture, protein biochemistry, microscopy, genomics as well computational approaches such as bioinformatics and modeling. Specific rotation projects are determined dependent on the interest of the student.

Post Docs: Postdoctoral positions are available in the Miller laboratory to investigate and extend the scope of bioluminescence imaging. Lab projects range from molecular-level studies of the mechanism of luciferases, to non-invasive imaging of specific biological processes and disease states in live animals. Motivated and inherently curious critical thinkers with backgrounds in biology, chemistry, or both are encouraged to apply.
Rotation Projects: Rotation Projects Work in our lab uses optical imaging to study live cells and organisms. This multi-disciplinary approach brings together the areas of synthetic organic chemistry, molecular biology, biochemistry and cell biology, with translation into mouse models of disease. 1) Broadening the scope of bioluminescence: Bioluminescence results from the chemical generation of light that occurs when a luciferase enzyme oxidizes its small molecule luciferin substrate. We have synthesized a wide variety of novel luciferin substrates designed to improve the ability to detect bioluminescence signals. In parallel, we have mutated luciferases to best accommodate these substrates, and have also found that a homologous protein in the fruit fly can act as a luciferase. Projects in the lab range from basic molecular-level biochemical, chemical, and evolutionary studies of luciferases and luciferins, to powerful applications such as imaging of enzyme activity and drug action in the brains of live mice. 2) Fluorescent probes beyond the visible range: Fluorescent sensors of enzymatic activity, metal ions, and small molecules allow the optical detection of biologically-important molecules. However, most of these sensors are based on visible-wavelength fluorophores that suffer from photoxicity and high background. These probes thus have limited utility in live cells, and are generally unusable in live organisms such as mice. We are designing and constructing sensors that fluoresce in the near-IR, beyond the visible range, which is most suitable for non-invasive optical imaging of the physiological state of live cells and organisms.
