We are looking for an R&D Technician to help develop advanced nucleic acid isolation and purification reagents with a focus on human diagnostics, including applications in liquid biopsies, infectious diseases, and prenatal screening.

About the Role

As a Laboratory Technician R&D, you will be at the heart of our R&D team, supporting the design and optimization of new products that meet the stringent requirements of downstream applications such as next-generation sequencing (NGS), CRISPR gene editing, and quantitative PCR (qPCR). You'll play an important role in testing, refining, and innovating solutions that set industry standards.

Key Responsibilities

·        Perform nucleic acid purification experiments to develop and validate new reagents.

·        Optimize workflows to enhance yield, purity, and compatibility with downstream applications like NGS, CRISPR, and qPCR.

·        Collaborate within the R&D team to design and execute experiments, analyze data, and troubleshoot issues.

·        Support implementation of new laboratory methods and equipment.

·        Conduct quality control tests to ensure reagent performance and consistency.

·        Maintain meticulous documentation of experimental procedures and results.

·        Stay updated with industry trends and contribute to innovative product ideas.

What We’re Looking For

o   Recent graduate with an HBO degree in Life Sciences, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, or a related field.

o   Strong background in molecular biology and biochemistry, including a thorough understanding of nucleic acid structure, function, and isolation techniques.

o   Hands-on experience with DNA/RNA purification, including quantification (e.g., spectrophotometry, fluorometry) and quality assessment.

o   Familiarity with molecular biology techniques such as PCR (preferably qPCR), gel electrophoresis, and sample preparation for downstream applications.

o   Ability to analyze experimental results, troubleshoot protocols, and optimize processes.

o   Knowledge of statistical methods for experimental design and data interpretation is a plus.

o   Strong organizational skills, with an emphasis on accuracy and attention to detail.

o   A proactive and solution-oriented mindset with a passion for innovation and discovery.

o   Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively within a team environment.

• Preferred Experience (Not Mandatory)

o   Previous laboratory or internship experience in molecular biology or biochemistry.

o   Familiarity with downstream applications such as NGS, CRISPR, or qPCR workflows.
