  • Experience with spatial biology platforms (e.g., COMET™)
  • Image analysis experience

Technical Environment

  • Automated stainers (e.g., Bond RX)
  • Microtomes and slide scanning systems
  • Standard histology and imaging lab equipment

Education

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Histotechnology, Biology, Molecular Biology , or related field

Team & Environment

  • Small core team (~3 members) with extensive cross-functional collaboration (20+ stakeholders)
  • Highly collaborative, research-driven environment
