clinical sample processing —including DNA extraction, library preparation, target enrichment, and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)—and contribute to ongoing research and development projects. This is a fully onsite position, requiring presence in the lab even when wet-lab work is not scheduled. Key Responsibilities
Perform routine molecular biology techniques (DNA extraction, library prep, target enrichment, NGS) with precision and compliance to GMP and design control standards. Work regularly with human biological samples (e.g., blood, plasma, tissue, urine, saliva) for nucleic acid extraction. Process multiple samples in parallel with accuracy and consistency using both single and multichannel pipettes. Adapt quickly to evolving protocols as processes are developed and optimized.
