Genetic scientist vs doctoral fellow

Differences between genetic scientist and doctoral fellow duties and responsibilities

Genetic scientist example responsibilities.

• Manage sample inventory via in-house laboratory information management system (LIMS) and implement additional systems for sample and chemical organization.
• Create PCR assays by selecting primers, enzymes, establishing thermo-cycler protocols, and verifying results through electrophoresis and DNA ladders.
• Key activities include process chemistry development, synthesis of intermediates, compound purification and structure identification, and comprehensive scientific documentation.
• Evaluate patient samples to identify biomarkers providing the development of asthma patient stratification methods.

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.
