Description:

The selected person will join the Girona Heart Registry (REGICOR) research group (Epidemiology and public health research program).

Task:

Logistics of the post-analytical phases of laboratory work. Analytical work: cell cultures, functionality analysis of HDL; nucleic acid extraction; autoanalyzer handling for biochemistry; handling of X-Map technology equipment; analysis of enzyme immunoassays; technical validation of project results. Lipidomic analyses in biological samples by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and FID (GC-FID) detectors.

Formation:

Higher Degree Vocational Training in Laboratory.

Experience:

Field work: preparation of biological samples, aliquoting, management of sample conservation. Handling of L-MAP analysis equipment and PENTRA-400 equipment, as well as post-analytical analyses. Experience in the extraction of nucleic acids from different specimens (whole blood, buffy coat, etc.) and by manual or semi-standardized procedures is required.

Knowledge:

Office knowledge at the user level. Experience and knowledge in genomic analysis, cellular experiments for determining HDL functionality, and genomics will be valued. Additionally, training in areas such as calibration, ultracentrifugation, cell cultures, and handling machinery like the Lipoprint-Quantimetrix/Vitro System, LUMINEX, and QIACUBE will also be considered.

Additional information:

The REGICOR group (Gironí Heart Registry – www.regicor.cat) is a consolidated and multidisciplinary research group based at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute (IMIM), within the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB). It has been working for decades in the field of cardiovascular epidemiology and personalized medicine, with its own well-characterized cohort of the general population. The group also coordinates the CORDELIA project (www.cordeliaproject.net), which integrates data from over 200,000 people from 35 Spanish cohorts. Some of these cohorts include detailed omics information (genomic, epigenetic, proteomic, metabolomic), clinical data, information on drugs, and lifestyle. REGICOR promotes a collaborative work environment committed to equal opportunities, scientific innovation, and the transfer of knowledge to society.This subsidy may be co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund, 'One way of making Europe'.
