Method of Application
Job Purpose:
The Medical Laboratory Scientist – Stem Cell is responsible for executing, managing, and optimizing experiments related to stem cell biology, cellular reprogramming, differentiation, and regenerative medicine. The role holder is expected to conduct technical laboratory examinations, data analysis, and collaborate within a multidisciplinary research environment.
Core Responsibilities:
Experimental Design and Execution:
Develop detailed experimental plans for stem cell research projects, including hypothesis formulation, protocol development, and timeline management.
Optimize protocols for stem cell isolation, culture, expansion, differentiation, and maintenance.
Perform advanced cell culture techniques, including maintenance of pluripotent and adult stem cell lines.
Conduct cellular reprogramming using methods such as Yamanaka factors, episomal vectors, or chemical reprogramming.
Differentiate stem cells into specific cell types (e.g., neurons, cardiomyocytes, hepatocytes) using established and novel protocols.
Apply gene-editing techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9 for functional studies.
Conduct immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, and high-throughput screening assays to evaluate cellular phenotypes.
Quality Assurance and Laboratory Compliance:
Ensure consistent and high-quality stem cell cultures by monitoring cell morphology, proliferation, and viability.
Perform routine mycoplasma and contamination checks.
Maintain compliance with institutional, national, and international ethical standards and guidelines (e.g., GMP, FDA, HFEA).
Prepare and update risk assessments, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and safety protocols.
Data Collection and Analysis:
Collect, document, and manage experimental data using electronic laboratory notebooks and data management software.
Perform statistical analysis of experimental data to identify trends and validate hypotheses.
Use bioinformatics tools for omics data analysis, including RNA-seq and single-cell sequencing data.
Prepare detailed reports and visualizations of experimental findings for internal and external presentations.
Collaboration and Communication:
Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, and clinicians, to achieve project goals.
Participate in lab meetings, brainstorming sessions, and collaborative research initiatives.
Prepare research reports, grant applications, and manuscripts for peer-reviewed publications.
Present findings at scientific conferences and symposiums.
Laboratory Management and Mentorship:
Oversee laboratory inventory, including ordering and maintaining stocks of reagents, consumables, and equipment.
Ensure proper maintenance and calibration of laboratory instruments.
Train and supervise junior scientists, technicians, and interns in stem cell research techniques.
Provide guidance and feedback to ensure the quality and reproducibility of experiments.
