You are a driven and detail-oriented scientist with a proven track record in in vivo research. You combine your technical expertise with a curiosity to explore groundbreaking methods, always striving to contribute to meaningful scientific progress. Your ability to work collaboratively and bring innovative ideas to the table sets you apart.
