This lab works on human inherited kidney disease. We use a combination of techniques including mouse model, cell culture, and cell biology and molecular biology to study it. Possible projects for the research intern include: 1) Identify proteins that keep the kidney in its normal function (Western blot, immunoprecipitation, tag-technology, immunofluorenscene ); 2) Developing new antibodies against cystoproteins (these are proteins that, if mutated, cause cystic kidney); 3) Identifying pathways that some of the kidney proteins are involved.

Candidates will work under direct supervision of a postdoctoral fellow at the lab for a duration of -3 months; (the time could be longer if desired). This will ensure that the candidate will not only acquire the knowledge and technique, but also have the chance to some experiments on his/her own.

During an interactive web summit, participants will hear the latest findings in the fight against malaria from top researchers at JHMRI and have the opportunity to ask questions in real time. In addition, participants will be able to visit remotely the JHMRI insectary where mosquitoes are bred, raised and studied at the heart of the Institute's scientific operations in Baltimore, MD. Participants will virtually meet researchers who use NASA data to map the movement of deadly malaria carrying mosquitoes. They'll also hear from researchers based at the Macha study field site in Zambia, a living laboratory for mosquito and human behavior in malaria-stricken areas.

UMBC students are invited to participate in this Web Summit to learn more about Malaria research and may gain an edge in applying for Summer 2010 Research Internships with JHMRI. If there is sufficient student interest, the Shriver Center will host a "big screen" viewing of the Web Summit. To reserve a spot, email Kerry Kidwell-Slak at kerryk@umbc.edu by Friday, October 30.

Students may also register individually to participate in the Web Summit via their personal computer. Please visit: http://malaria.jhsph.edu/register/registration2009.html for more information.

Information about internship applications to JHMRI will be released by the Shriver Center later in the Fall Semester.

Read below the break for more information on panelists for this exciting event and the work of JHMRI.

2. Get a letter/memo from your employer (on company letterhead) verifying that you are interning 8-10 hours per week and bring it to your appointment.
3. Meet with your Coordinator to get enrolled in the Practicum (to have the notation put on your transcript as a university sanctioned experience) and have your potential credit options explained to you.
4. Enjoy your internship, co-op, or research position!

Are you dreading that Thanksgiving conversation?

You know, the one that goes something like:

Family-member: So, what are you going to do next summer?

You: I don't know, probably the same thing I did last year.

Family Member: Well, with all the news about the economy, I don't think it's smart to put all your eggs in one basket. And you know you can't mooch off of us another year.

You: Stop bugging me! I just don't know where to begin!

And an awkward silence fills the room, ruining your delicious pumpkin pie.

Wouldn't you rather be able to say...

You: Well, I met with my Shriver Center coordinator and they helped me get my resume in good shape. They also showed me how to use UMBCworks to apply to positions. I have two offers already from Fortune 500 companies and I'm interviewing with 3 other organizations over winter break. While I haven't made up my mind yet, I have a lot of good choices. The economy may be down, but there is still a strong market for interns and I know I'm going to have a good experience that may even set me up for a fulltime job after graduation.

Call 410-455-2493 to make an appointment with the Shriver Center TODAY to start your path to a successful spring or summer internship and avoid Thanksgiving awkwardness.

Three myths about Internships, Research, and Co-ops brought to you by your Shriver Center Coordinators at UMBC
