Research assistant member vs laboratory research assistant

Differences between research assistant member and laboratory research assistant duties and responsibilities

Research assistant member example responsibilities.

• Invent and develop new (user) input technology then lead the design and prototyping of its applications.
• Characterize various types of lab-synthesize membrane-coated nanoparticles using Zetasizer and TEM.
• Work in a team base environment to perform synthesis and purification of high quality oligonucleotides in high-throughput setting.
• Guide the technical implementation of an automate analysis system (electrophoresis station), with the enhancement of its operational efficiency.
• Retrieve samples from GIS site, and prepare samples for analysis.
• Establish a process and develop MATLAB programs to automatically convert utility GIS data to a CYMDIST model.
