Doctoral fellow vs doctoral student

Differences between doctoral fellow and doctoral student duties and responsibilities

Doctoral fellow example responsibilities.

• Lead the in-vitro biophysical and biochemical characterization of homologous recombination and investigate structure-function effects of mutant enzymes.
• Attend courses in drug discovery, python programming, and next-generation sequencing analyses.
• Coordinate the validation of data aquisition algorithms (C++, python) for all real and simulate data.
• Conduct custom synthesis of organic molecules, key intermediates and building blocks for medicinal chemistry applications.
• Design PCL/PLCL drug delivery system for DC immunotherapy.
• Succeed in using CRISPR to genetically correct diseas iPSCs.

Doctoral student example responsibilities.

• Manage multiple collaborative projects peripheral to dissertation that leverage experience in characterization and inorganic synthesis.
• Lead the in-vitro biophysical and biochemical characterization of homologous recombination and investigate structure-function effects of mutant enzymes.
• Used RT-PCR, ELISA, western blot, culture of establish cell lines, and immunohistochemistry.
• Apply NMR techniques to assess the effect of a health supplement on neurological changes in Alzheimer s disease.
• Analyze the molecular structures by NMR and FR-IR, determine the molecular weight and polymerization kinetics by GPC.
• Develop complex ELISA and western blot methods to study and characterize the host immune response to intracellular parasitism.
