Prepare samples, reagents, buffers, and standards in accordance with established protocols and assay requirements.

Perform sample preparation workflows, including use of automated liquid handling systems where applicable.

Analyze, interpret, and document experimental data in ELN, LIMS, or equivalent systems, ensuring compliance with data integrity standards (e.g., ALCOA+ principles).

Support method troubleshooting and optimization, ensuring assay robustness, reproducibility, and consistency across runs.

Maintain laboratory instruments and ensure proper calibration and performance, supporting compliance with quality and safety standards.

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., protein production, process development) to support project timelines and deliverables.

Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, including method refinement, workflow efficiency, and data quality enhancement.
