  • Characterize protein function with ELISAs, flow cytometry, and activity reporter assays
  • Proficiency in data analysis and programming (e.g. Python, R)
  • Strong communication and collaboration abilities
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently
  • Entrepreneurial mindset and enthusiasm for working in a fast-paced startup environment
