Responsibilities
- Maintain accurate inventory and tracking of research compounds and biological materials.
- Receive, document, label, and store incoming research materials.
- Prepare stock solutions, working solutions, and aliquots.
- Perform calculations related to concentrations, dilutions, and material requirements.
- Coordinate distribution of research materials and maintain usage records.
- Monitor inventory levels and identify materials for replenishment.
- Maintain organized freezer, refrigerator, and laboratory storage systems.
- Help establish and improve systems for sample requests, aliquoting, tracking, and distribution.
- Maintain material traceability, including identity, concentration, formulation, storage conditions, and handling history.
- Assist with routine protein sample preparation and characterization.
- Perform protein concentration measurements and sample normalization.
- Prepare buffers, reagents, and solutions for protein science workflows.
- Support routine analytical techniques such as SDS-PAGE, chromatography sample preparation, and protein quantification.
- Assist with protein purification and sample-processing activities.
- Support preparation of samples for biochemical and biophysical characterization.
- Maintain laboratory equipment and ensure adequate stocking of reagents and consumables.
- Follow established protocols and contribute to continuous improvement of laboratory procedures.
- Maintain complete and accurate records in electronic laboratory notebooks, inventory systems, and databases.
- Ensure samples are appropriately labeled and traceable.
