Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct cloning (Gibson assembly), Mini, Maxi, Giga preps, and DNA sequence confirmation.
• Support protein production by small- and large-scale transient transfection.
• Perform protein characterization assays, including concentration, endotoxin measurement, SDS-PAGE, and SEC-HPLC.
• Utilize Vi-CELL, Octet, and HPLC for various assays.
• Employ antibodies and other protein purification techniques.
• Operate AKTA instruments for purification processes.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in biology, biochemistry, or a related discipline.
• Minimum of 1 year of experience in a research lab environment, preferably including work under sterile conditions.
• Hands-on experience with cloning, mammalian cell cultures, and aseptic techniques.
• Proficiency in protein characterization assays and the use of Vi-CELL, Octet, and HPLC.
• Experience with AKTA instruments and protein purification techniques is preferred.

Personal Characteristics:

• High degree of personal and professional integrity.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to deliver high-quality results.
• Adaptable to fast-paced environments and changing situations.
