Our work allows for the safe manipulation of tissue age to improve symptoms of aging and age-associated diseases. This technology has potential applications in combating cancer, blindness, diabetes, and neurodegeneration. We are seeking a dedicated Laboratory Technician to help advance our research on neurodegenerative disorders. This role involves characterizing the aging dynamics of neurons in both healthy and diseased states, and assisting in the development of age-reversal interventions as potential therapeutics. The successful candidate will employ both in vitro and in vivo (mouse model) experimental approaches under the guidance of senior researchers.</p> <p>Key Responsibilities:</p> <ul> <li>Operate scientific equipment. </li><li>Maintain and manage cell cultures. </li><li>Perform standard experimental tests and procedures. </li><li>Record and document experimental results according to established laboratory techniques. </li><li>Present experimental results at lab meetings. </li><li>Conduct related job duties as required. </li></ul>
