Our team members are driven, hold themselves and one another to the highest standards of rigor and integrity, and are dedicated to executing their tasks with relentless precision.
About the Role
We are in search of a dedicated Lab Technician to facilitate the execution of preclinical experiments focused on exploring the effects and mechanisms of focused ultrasound on the brain. You will collaborate closely with our research scientists, engaging in both in vivo and in vitro studies. Your responsibilities will include handling laboratory animals, maintaining cell cultures, constructing and preparing experimental setups, processing tissue samples, collecting data, and ensuring the seamless operation of experiments.
As a Lab Technician at Nudge, your key responsibilities will include:
Handling rodents (mice and rats) for experimental procedures in accordance with established protocols.
Assisting with in vivo procedures such as animal preparation, positioning, anesthesia monitoring, and ultrasound delivery.
Supporting rodent perfusions, brain extraction, and tissue collection for subsequent histological and molecular analyses.
Assisting in tissue processing, embedding, sectioning, and basic staining techniques (H&E, IHC).
Maintaining and supporting in vitro cell culture experiments, including plating, passaging, treatment application, and conducting cell-based assays.
Designing and constructing custom tools to enhance experimental setups and improve workflow efficiency.
About You
At least 1 year of hands-on experience in a preclinical or animal research laboratory environment.
Proficient in handling rodents (mice and/or rats) and familiar with fundamental in vivo techniques (dosing, anesthesia, perfusion, tissue harvest).
