Support iPSC differentiation workflows by maintaining culture health, confluency, and morphology across ongoing processes.
Conduct routine monitoring and assessment of culture performance, including cell counts, viability measurements, and microscopic imaging.
Perform cell fixation on in‑process and drug substance materials to prepare samples for downstream analytical characterization (e.g., flow cytometry).
Manage multiple bioreactor systems in parallel and maintain ownership of weekend culture operations with minimal supervision.
Maintain accurate, timely documentation in an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) and clearly communicate weekend process status, observations, and results to week‑day R&D staff and leadership.
