What is immunofluorescence?

An Immunofluorescence job typically involves conducting laboratory techniques to detect and visualize specific proteins or structures in biological samples using fluorescent dyes. Professionals in this field work in research, clinical, or diagnostic laboratories, preparing samples, operating fluorescence microscopes, and analyzing results. They may also troubleshoot staining protocols and optimize imaging techniques. This role is common in immunology, pathology, and biomedical research.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the immunofluorescence position, and why are they important?

To thrive in an Immunofluorescence role, you need a strong background in molecular biology, microscopy techniques, and laboratory protocols, usually supported by a relevant scientific degree. Proficiency with fluorescence microscopes, imaging software such as ImageJ, and possibly certifications in laboratory safety or histology is often required. Attention to detail, organization, and strong communication skills help ensure precise results and effective teamwork. These skills are crucial for producing accurate experimental data, troubleshooting technical issues, and maintaining high scientific standards in research or clinical diagnostics.

What are the typical daily responsibilities for someone working in immunofluorescence?

Daily responsibilities for professionals in Immunofluorescence typically include preparing biological samples, performing staining protocols, operating fluorescence microscopes, and analyzing resulting images for specific markers or cell characteristics. You may also be responsible for maintaining laboratory equipment, recording detailed experimental notes, and assisting with troubleshooting technical issues that arise during imaging or sample preparation. Collaboration with research scientists, pathologists, and other laboratory staff is common, as is presenting findings during team meetings or contributing to research publications. This role requires a balance of technical expertise, precision, and teamwork to ensure high-quality data generation and advance scientific understanding.

Job description

The Research Associate – Advanced Staining & Immunohistochemistry (IHC) supports HistoWiz's Advanced Staining laboratory by independently performing immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and in situ hybridization (ISH) assays while contributing to assay development, validation, and process optimization. This role partners closely with pathologists, laboratory scientists, and clients to develop and validate biomarkers, troubleshoot staining protocols, and deliver high-quality results within established turnaround times.

The ideal candidate is a scientifically curious, detail-oriented laboratory professional with experience in histology, immunohistochemistry, and experimental design who enjoys solving technical challenges while supporting innovative research projects.
 

Key ResponsibilitiesAdvanced Staining Operations
  • Independently perform immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and in situ hybridization (ISH) staining procedures according to laboratory SOPs.
  • Prepare, stain, and process FFPE tissue sections while maintaining specimen integrity and traceability.
  • Perform routine and advanced staining workflows to meet client turnaround time expectations.
  • Assist with routine IHC production as laboratory workload requires.
Assay Development & Optimization
  • Research scientific literature to identify and evaluate antibodies, biomarkers, and staining methodologies for client projects.
  • Develop, optimize, and validate new IHC, IF, ISH, and multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) assays.
  • Design experiments to optimize staining conditions, antibody concentrations, antigen retrieval methods, and detection systems.
  • Analyze experimental results and recommend protocol improvements.
Validation & Quality Assurance
  • Perform biomarker, assay, reagent, and equipment validation studies.
  • Troubleshoot staining inconsistencies and identify root causes of quality issues.
  • Review stained slides with pathologists to ensure assay performance and staining quality.
  • Prepare validation reports documenting assay performance and quality outcomes.
  • Maintain compliance with laboratory quality standards and documentation requirements.
Project Leadership & Client Support
  • Serve as the technical lead for assigned client projects.
  • Lead project update meetings and communicate progress with internal teams and external clients.
  • Coordinate project timelines to ensure deliverables are completed on or ahead of schedule.

  • Assign AIR projects through Monday.com and monitor project progress.
Laboratory Operations
  • Maintain organization of the Advanced Staining laboratory.
  • Monitor inventory levels and coordinate ordering of laboratory reagents, antibodies, consumables, and supplies.
  • Ensure laboratory equipment is maintained, calibrated, and operating properly.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives to increase laboratory efficiency, quality, and productivity.
Collaboration & Mentorship
  • Collaborate closely with Histology, Digital Pathology, Quality, and Pathology teams.
  • Mentor and train junior laboratory staff on staining techniques, laboratory procedures, and best practices.
  • Contribute to process improvement initiatives that enhance laboratory performance and client satisfaction.
QualificationsRequired
  • Bachelor's degree in Biology, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Immunology, Biomedical Sciences, Biotechnology, or a related life sciences discipline.
  • 2+ years of laboratory experience performing immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, histology, or related tissue-based assays.
  • Experience working with FFPE tissue specimens.
  • Strong understanding of antibody-based staining techniques and tissue preparation.
  • Excellent laboratory documentation and organizational skills.
  • Ability to independently manage multiple projects while meeting deadlines.
  • Strong scientific communication and problem-solving abilities.
Preferred
  • Experience developing or optimizing IHC, IF, ISH, or multiplex IF assays.
  • Experience with automated staining platforms (Leica Bond, Ventana, Dako, Akoya, or equivalent).
  • Experience working in a CAP, CLIA, GLP, or GCLP laboratory.
  • Experience collaborating with pathologists on assay validation and quality review.
  • Experience writing scientific validation reports and technical documentation.
