Data Collection and Analysis:

• Assist in collecting and processing biological samples (e.g., blood, tissue) from mouse models for downstream molecular analyses.

• Maintain accurate records of experiments, data collection, and sample inventory in a clinical database for integrated bioinformatics analysis.

Genomic and Proteomic Support:

• Assist in sample preparation for genomics and proteomics studies, including DNA/RNA extraction and preparation for sequencing and protein assays.

• Support preclinical validation of molecular markers and therapeutic targets identified from genomic studies.

Laboratory Support and Maintenance:

• Ensure lab equipment related to mouse work is well-maintained and calibrated.

• Follow all safety protocols and maintain a clean, organized work environment.

• Assist in the maintenance of a comprehensive tissue bank, ensuring high-quality source material is available for research.

Collaboration and Reporting:

• Collaborate closely with senior researchers, assisting in the analysis of data from mouse models.

• Report findings and observations to the research team and contribute to discussions on the impact of preclinical findings on clinical applications.
