2 Summer program outline Length of internship The program is 9 weeks and depending on your schedule it could be a few weeks more if you choose. The 1 st day you will sit down with me to go over expecta?ons and your role in the lab. You will then go to your assigned lab for the summer and meet with the person(s) who will supervise you. 1 st two weeks The 1 st two weeks will entail comple?ng paperwork, ini?al safety trainings. If you are working with mice there are tests to complete and training to enter the facility. - HR paperwork & badges - Lab safety training - Blood borne pathogen training - Mouse training & tests Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center 5

3 2016 labs Lund Lab- Dr. Jennifer Lund: The focus of the Lund lab is on elucida?ng the basic mechanisms of immunity in the context of virus infec?on. Specifically, we use a mouse model to study how regulatory T- cells affect the an?- viral immune responses to genital HSV- 2, influenza, and West Nile virus. Prlic Lab- Dr. Mar?n Prlic: The Prlic lab studies 2 popula?ons of the immune system, CD8 T cells and NK cells, using in vivo (mouse) and in vitro model systems. Our goal is to understand the molecular basis of cell ac?va?on and differen?a?on to learn how to manipulate the cells for therapeu?c purposes. Taylor Lab- Dr. Jus?n Taylor: Mechanisms driving the differen?a?on of B cells following vaccina?on and infec?on. Understanding how differences in the pre- immune repertoire influences immunity Vaccine Development. HVTN: The HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) is the world s largest publicly funded mul?- disciplinary interna?onal collabora?on facilita?ng the development of vaccines to prevent HIV/ AIDS. The HVTN conducts all phases of clinical trials, from evalua?ng experimental vaccines for safety and immunogenicity to tes?ng vaccine efficacy. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center 2

4 Labs con?nued McElrath Lab: Dr. Julie McElrath: The McElrath laboratory applies mul?- disciplinary and cross- plaeorm approaches to their studies, which encompass the following research areas: HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) Laboratory HVTN Cape Town Lab Seafle HIV Vaccine Trials Unit (Seafle HVTU) Collabora?on for AIDS Vaccine Discovery (CAVD) - 3 projects Malaria & Tuberculosis Vaccines CHAVI- ID Long Term Non- Progressor Cohort (LTNP) Schiffer Lab- Dr. Josh Schiffer: The aim of my group is to characterize quan?ta?ve features of human pathogens and immune responses. Ul?mately, we are most interested in iden?fying thresholds at which infec?ons either take off leading to disease and transmission, or are contained by the human immune system. This fundamental ques?on is highly per?nent to vaccine and an?viral therapy development. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center 3

5 Labs Con?nued. Corey Lab- Dr. Larry Corey: The Corey Lab inves?gates the underlying mechanisms between herpes simplex virus pathogenesis and the host immune response. Specifically, the associa?ons between HSV- 2 disease severity and the quan?ty, quality and diversity of?ssue resident memory CD8+ T cells persis?ng amer HSV- 2 reac?va?on in humans. The research focus of this posi?on is the study of an?body response generated during natural Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2 infec?on and during vaccina?on procedures. This posi?on would be primarily responsible for developing and performing an?body- dependent cellular phagocytosis assays to measure phagocy?c ac?vity of an?bodies. The summer student will also be responsible for general laboratory maintenance including sample receipt and logging, reagent prepara?on, supply stocking, autoclaving, emptying biohazard waste and maintaining laboratory equipment. Our lab focuses on the immune response mounted against HSV- 2 by T cells resident in the skin. If you join us you will be working on determining the viral epitopes recognized by these T cells, knowledge which would be important in designing vaccines and therapies in the future. You will learn commonly u?lized skills including molecular biology,?ssue culture and T cell func?onal assays. Compara?ve Medicine- Jamie Nguyen: Under the instruc?on of the Compara?ve Medicine Imaging Technician, the intern will learn how to scan mice in the small animal MRI and all procedures associated with it (anesthesia, IV/IP injec?on, etc.). Amer ini?al skills have been mastered the intern would be responsible for acquiring MR images to meet deadlines and independently troubleshoot common issues with the complex imaging equipment.
