Staff Scientist – Murine Phenotyping Core

Environment:

The MPC is a full scale, busy, and in demand mouse phenotyping core that provides technical and scientific expertise for the phenotypic characterization of mouse models. We place a strong emphasis on scientific collaboration, technical skill, customization of model specific testing strategies, and innovative growth and development. We collaborate on projects with investigators across NIH on a diversity of mouse models utilizing state of the art equipment and comprehensive testing methodologies to assess multiple physiological and behavioral systems. The core is equipped to handle all aspects of comprehensive, complex, and diverse phenotyping projects in the areas of cardiovascular, metabolic, pulmonary, neuromuscular, behavioral phenotyping and exercise physiology testing while providing scientific consultation and collaboration with NIH research labs. The position offers diverse and exciting opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, development of comprehensive expertise in mouse phenotyping and comparative medicine, the ability to shape and steer ongoing growth of the core, and to conduct independent research.

Position role:

The core seeks motivated candidate to assist in both the technical, and scientific aspects involved in the core’s daily work and collaborations, and to promote continued growth and contributions towards the core’s reputation of excellence and knowledge in the field of phenotyping mouse models that researchers across NIH seek out.

Areas of potential growth:

The successful candidate will have the exciting opportunity to help steer and promote the continued growth of the core as a state-of-the-art mouse phenotyping center, including the continued initiation and application of new techniques and methods, learning new equipment, and facility design/planning as the core continues to expand, etc. 

Current Core Testing methodologies: 

The MPC houses the largest and most diverse repertoire of mouse testing equipment and systems at the NIH and has built up the most robust and comprehensive testing methodologies available anywhere for investigating scientific inquiry involving diverse mouse models.

Using plasma technology to recycle CO₂ from steelmaking

-

Plasma is all around us, comprising 99% of the visible universe, including the stars at night and the branch of lightning we see cracking open the sky. Researchers are using the power of this superheated matter for everything from making computer chips to healing wounds. And in Belgium, three companies are collaborating on a world-first technology: a plasma reactor that turns captured CO₂ into carbon monoxide (CO) for steel and chemical production. The process holds promise for decarbonizing steelmaking. The role of CO₂ recycling The steel sector creates more CO₂ than any other heavy industry and is considered challenging to electrify. This is because traditional steelmaking in blast furnaces uses coal as both a source of heat and, in the chemical process, as a reductant for converting iron ore to elemental (‘pig’) iron. While the sector looks to future-proof with technologies such as electric arc furnaces and direct reduction of iron ore with hydrogen, it is looking to CO₂ capture, ut...

  WhatsApp Chat GPT Integration via GitHub Project Lets Users Add AI to Conversations: Details WhatsApp is arguably the world's most popular messaging service, and the Meta-owned messaging service also offers a version of the app for businesses that supports basic automated responses. On the other hand, Chat GPT, the wildly popular chatbot from San Francisco startup Open AI has seen users cross the 100 million mark in record time. Developer Daniel Gross has developed an open source integration called WhatsApp-GPT, which is  hosted  on GitHub. Written in Python and the Go programming language (Golang), the service must be run via the terminal (command line) and requires a  WhatsApp  account registered with a phone number. The chatbot will be run in a separate browser window in order to respond to chats, according to the developer.  The readme file for the project states that users must run two scripts, one in Golang and a sever script in Python. They wi...

 Highway technology New technology that monitors commercial vehicles will improve safety for local residents and drivers on Highway 5A. Weigh-in-motion and automatic vehicle-identification systems will monitor commercial vehicles at highway speeds using sensors built into and above the highway. The sensors will measure real-time safety and vehicle data, such as weight, height and tire conditions, and compare the data against enforced standards.    Commercial vehicle data will be relayed directly to mobile Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement officers in the area, enabling more efficient intervention and enforcement of safety standards. Quick Facts: The new virtual system on Highway 5A will provide information about all commercial vehicles that pass whether they are enrolled in the Weigh2Go program or not. Known collectively as Weigh2GoBC, the ministry has established a network of 12 weigh-in-motion and automatic vehicle-identification technologies that check vehicle ...
