Maintain accurate experimental records, SOPs, and assay documentation in compliance with internal quality and safety standards. Communicate results clearly and effectively with project teams; contribute to data summaries, troubleshooting discussions, and cross functional coordination. Skills: Hands on experience with routine histology techniques (tissue processing, embedding, sectioning, staining) in a research or clinical laboratory setting. Demonstrated experience developing and running histopathology assays, including IHC and/or ISH; multiplex assay experience strongly preferred. Strong understanding of assay QC, reproducibility, and documentation requirements. Proven ability to support day to day lab operations in a fast paced, collaborative environment. Exceptional attention to detail, with a commitment to data integrity and high quality outputs. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey technical information to diverse stakeholders. Highly organized, self motivated, and capable of managing multiple priorities while meeting timelines.
