5. Deliver results in a timely manner, communicate effectively, and maintain clear communication with cross-functional teams and collaborators.
6. Support a collaborative work environment through sharing knowledge and experience within your area of responsibility.
7. Participate as a member of the advisory committee for continual improvement of service procedures.
8. Promote the Cocoon Platform to the cellular therapy community through seminars, conference attendance, contributions to publications, etc.
