• Analyzing flow cytometry data from stained samples
• Isolating target cells through fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS)
• Immunofluorescence beads based binding affinity assay
• Documentation of experimental procedures and results
• Recording and organizing data in electronic notebook/database, Powerpoint and LIMS
• Analyze data using tools such as FlowJo, Omiq, Microsoft Office, MacOS, and GraphPad Prism
• Periodic data presentation
• Lab preparation, organization and resource acquisition
• Collaborating and coordinating workflow intra and interdepartmentally to keep antibody discovery pipeline on track

This role may be for you, if you:

• Enjoy working in a collaborative and fast paced environment
• Have a strong desire to develop your skills
• Excel at maintaining experimental documentation, exhibit meticulous attention to detail
• Have great oral and written communication skills, organizational skills, as well as good interpersonal skills
