Note that not all faculty members will advertise positions on the Research Opportunities website; students should contact faculty members they are interested in working with regardless of whether or not they have a position advertised.

Research Opportunity	Faculty Member	Description
Volunteers	Dr. Ralph Pantophlet	The Pantophlet Lab in the Faculty of Health Sciences seeks to recruit at least three undergraduate students for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025. Responsibilities include maintaining lab equipment, contributing to lab chores, and supporting various research activities. Benefits include contributing to significant research, learning in a state-of-the-art lab, and enhancing your resume. Candidates must have completed at least one upper-division lab course with a B or better; previous lab experience is preferred. A minimum commitment of 10 hours per week over at least two days (Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM) is required. Students from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Send your CV, academic transcript, and a brief description of your academic goals to Ralph Pantophlet at rpantophlet@sfu.ca. (Posted 19JUN2024)
MBB 481/2/3	Dr. Jonathan Choy	15-credit Direct Research opportunities are available in the Choy lab for individuals interested in studying how immune responses contribute to transplant rejection and autoimmune disease. Interested students should e-mail Dr. Choy describing their research interests along with a copy of transcripts and CV.
MBB 481/2/3	Dr. Nancy Hawkins	The Hawkins lab studies the role of asymmetrically localized proteins and the Wnt signaling pathway in asymmetric cell division in C. elegans. We have focused on the protein HAM-1, that is asymmetrically localized at the cell cortex in many dividing cells in the embryo. This protein also has a DNA binding domain and localizes to the nucleus. We proposed that the asymmetric localization at the cell cortex is one mechanism to specifically distribute the protein to one of the two daughter cells during division. The goal is to watch the segregation of HAM-1 in living embryos during cell division. To accomplish this goal, the directed research project will involve generating a plasmid construct that fuses the ham-1 gene to a gene encoding a photoconvertible fluorescent protein (Dendra2). This construct will then be used to generate transgenic C. elegans. A series of experiments will then be undertaken to visualize Dendra2::HAM-1 localization and segregation in transgenic embryos.
