• Protein conjugation of reagents with biotin, Alexa488, and PE, and other tags. 

• Interpretation of results, documentation by ELN, and power point presentation slides for characterization and documentation of reagents and antibodies purified. 

This may be the role for you if:

• You can work productively in a fast-paced collaborative team environment.  

• You have excellent communication skills are essential.

• You enjoy presenting data both internally and externally, and efficiently participate in discussions in our collaborative, cross-functional team environment.
