University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine
Application
Details
Posted: 15-Jun-26
Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Type: Full Time
Salary: Based on experience
Area of Focus:
Applied Plant Biology
Required Education:
Masters
Several open positions are available in the Daniell laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania in applied plant biology or biotechnology. Ongoing research projects include antiviral proteins made in plant cells to neutralize human or animal viral diseases. For project details see publications on neutralization of Coronaviruses (Biomaterials288: 121671, 2022; Pharmaceutics 17: 12, 2025) Herpes or influenza viruses (Molecular Therapy 33: 184-200 (2024), or Human Papilloma viruses (Scientific Reports 16: 7886, 2026). Additionally, other ongoing projects on diabetes include bioengineering of marker-free lettuce to produce oral insulin (Biomaterials 293: 1221420, 2023), or oral GLP-1RAs (Plant Biotechnology Journal 24: 3158). For an overview of Daniell Laboratory research please review recent review articles (Nature Biotechnology 41:1186; Chemical Reviews 125: 4009) or explore links: Scholar GPS https://scholargps.com/scholars/82094026790000/henry-daniell
Laboratory skills and conceptual understanding suitable for open positions include microbiology (culturing of bacteria, yeast), plant biology (in vitro tissue culture, plant growth in the greenhouse) and protein biochemistry (enzyme assays, western blots, ELISA). Because several products made in plant cells are advanced to clinical trials, accuracy in measurements, reproducibility and documentation are required. New employees will be trained in FDA documentation, double verification of results (dosage, stability, efficacy, potency) and handling instruments (pipette or equipment calibration, documentation, etc.).
Prior training in plant biology, microbiology or biochemistry with M.S. or Ph.D. degrees.
About University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine
University of Pennsylvania was established in 1749. To this day, Penn’s 299-acre West Philadelphia campus reflects its rich heritage—a heritage closely bound with the birth of the United States—boasting more than 180 buildings and many notable landmarks, including the nation’s first student union and first double-decker college football stadium.
The 190 research centers and institutes on campus also reflect the University’s innovative, civic-minded, and pragmatic creator: More than 250 years after Ben Franklin broke new ground in founding Penn, its faculty, students, and alumni continue to make breakthroughs in research, scholarship, and education. Its many subsequent “firsts” include the world’s first collegiate business school (Wharton, 1881); the world’s first electronic, large-scale, general-purpose digital computer (ENIAC, 1946).
Research & Innovation
With a $1.33 billion research budget in 2026, Penn is one of the nation’s top research universities, not only generating important new knowledge in the fields of medicine, technology, business, science, and beyond, but applying this knowledge to improve the lives of individuals and communities at home and around the world. ...Innovative research that yields actionable knowledge is one of the cornerstones of Penn's vision for the future of the University. More recently, University of Pennsylvania researchers have won Nobel prizes for pioneering mRNA vaccine or numerous other recognitions for CAR-T immunotherapy or Gene Therapy innovations.
