strains continue to emerge and spread rapidly worldwide. This poses challenges to diagnosing infected individuals and developing new vaccines and therapies. Therefore, it is imperative that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determine if newly developed tests for screening the blood supply can accurately detect all the existing and emerging HIV strains in blood samples.
One of our ongoing studies is that HIV virus panel study will help FDA in its global collaborations aimed at ensuring there are accurate HIV diagnostic tests and safe and effective vaccines available to respond to the changing population of AIDS viruses. HIV virus panel study will provide new insights and will support
development of improved diagnosis, disease monitoring, drug design, and vaccines. OBRR has also helped to produce a new FDA document that offers guidance to blood donor facilities in identifying donors at increased risk for being infected with the variety of HIV-1 called " group O.
" This will help to screen out donors who might be infected based on having spent time in certain parts of Africa or having received blood transfusions or engaged in interactionual activity with residents or former residents in those areas. Duties/Responsibilities: Extract and purify HIV RNA from cultured virus, perform reverse transcript HIV RNA to c DNA, use established primer pool and multiple
PCR methods to amplify the c DNA for Sanger or NGS Sequencing analysis.
Develop new methods and optimize the new systems to amplify highly diversify HIV-1 strains for whole genomic sequence. Sanger and NGS sequencing the PCR products from task 1 and 2. Initial the bioinformatics analysis to determine whole length HIV-1 genomic contigus, identify the genotype and HIV Circulating Recombinant Forms (CRFs). Prepare the aliquoted isolates to delivery to collaborators for Viral Load (VL) test and RNASeq studies. Minimum Requirements: A Ph D or Master degree in any branch of Life Science Research experience in virology or molecular biology area (HIV preferred). Training in the safe handling of human blood samples Experience in Biosafety Level 2 plus and Level 3 laboratories Experience with analysis of human genome data and HIV sequencing data preferred.
