    Organizational Status
    The individual will report to the Clinical Research & Lab Manager and the Lab Coordinator and work closely with the assigned lab personnel.

    Work Performed

    Under the supervision of a lab manager, your routine responsibilities will include:

    • Human Blood Sample Processing and Cryopreservation
    • Assembling and shipping study kits
    • Monitoring and troubleshooting issues related to sample logistics
    • Working with cell cultures
    • Assisting with flow cytometry experiments
    • Performing basic molecular and cell biology techniques, including PCR, DNA/RNA isolation, and cell assays
    • Maintaining accurate records of experimental work, biorepository, and inventory
    • Assisting with validating laboratory methods and procedures.
    • Performing quality control procedures on analytical tests, reagents, and equipment
    • Training new lab members on procedures and equipment usage
    • Attending meetings and assisting with taking meeting minutes
    • Monitoring data entry into a database and updating lab inventories
    • Handling daily communication with clinical study sites' personnel (raising queries, sending notifications, reminders, etc.)
    • Assisting with processing invoices and payments
    • Performing routine laboratory maintenance
    • Communicating with carriers/couriers for orders and shipments
