Genetic scientist vs research fellow

Differences between genetic scientist and research 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.

Research fellow example responsibilities.

• Collaborate with software engineers to automate identification of 15N- and 13C- labele LC-MS features.
• Process and manage GIS databases to contribute towards research in human transportation behavior.
• Manage investigator initiate and cooperative group correlative studies to identify biomarkers to ascertain tumor burden and clinical outcomes in lymphoma.
• Analyze quantitative and qualitative data through statistical software SAS and SPSS.
• Conduct sampling, PCR, data analysis and oral presentations of the work
• Implement python and C++ codes for numerical computation of transport properties in models and materials.
