  2. Experience with fluorescence microscopy.
  3. Experience handling biological tissue and cells.
  4. Solid understanding of molecular biology/biochemistry.

To succeed in this role, you should be an independent problem-solver with a structured and quality-conscious approach to work. Strong communication skills, both written and spoken, are essential, as well as excellent collaboration skills.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
