Further optimize strain engineering methods to accelerate Design-Build-Test-Learn cycles.
Analyze and interpret NGS genomic sequencing results (e.g., DNA-seq, RNA-seq).
Collaborate with automation scientists to transfer manual bench-scale experiments to high-throughput robotic platforms.
Maintain detailed notes in Benchling ELN/LIMS to enable data sharing and collaboration across project teams.
Contribute to a team-oriented, positive and safe work environment.
