Furthermore, the candidate will work closely with Scientists to ensure consistent and timely delivery of differentiated cells. The candidate can expect to work in a unique team environment composed of biologists and engineers and be directly exposed to fast-paced projects that vary widely in nature, from stem cell biology to bioengineering. The ability to understand priorities and split time between projects effectively are essential. This position is suited for cell culturists that are looking to make an impact at an early stage company by taking part in a variety of cutting-edge projects.
Role & responsibilities:
- Assist in performing cell-based assays to characterize a variety of stem cell lines and cultures
