- Maintain efficient and continuous communication with the manager and team members.
- Support team members with routine cell culture procedures, including media preparation and reagent aliquoting.
- Conduct molecular and cell biology experiments such as qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence, and Western blot analyses.
Skills:
- Trained and experienced in using aseptic techniques in a laminar flow biosafety cabinet.
- Significant mammalian cell culture expertise, including maintenance, freezing, thawing, and passaging.
- Proficiency in biochemical assays such as Western blot, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry.
- Skilled in molecular biology techniques such as RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, and RT-qPCR.
- Knowledge of serial dilution and calculation of solution concentration.
- Organized in planning long experimental protocols that may sometimes require working on weekends.
- Experience with tissue culture (stem cells) required.
- Experience with culturing human iPSC and differentiating iPSC into brain cell types preferred.
Education and experience:
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Biochemistry or Molecular Cell Biology, with at least 3 years of hands-on laboratory experience.
