How can I get a job in tissue engineering?

The qualifications you need to work in tissue engineering vary, but typically include at least a bachelor’s degree in biology, math, engineering, or a related field. Many employers prefer candidates who have earned a master’s degree and have experience in lab work. These jobs often involve hazardous chemicals, human and animal tissue and fluids, and radiation, so you should be very familiar with appropriate safety protocols. Assistant and technician jobs require strong organization and communication skills, as well as the ability to pay close attention to detail. As a bioengineer, you need thorough theoretical and clinical knowledge of cell culture and molecular techniques as well as an excellent track record in research.
