• Perform routine gene cloning to construct plasmids for recombinant protein expression in E. coli.
• Carry out gel electrophoresis for DNA and protein analysis.
• Purify and characterize recombinant proteins using standard biochemical techniques.
• Culture microbial strains using plates, tubes, and shake flasks.
• Conduct biotransformation and bioconversion experiments with our engineered strains.
• Perform analytical assays to quantify substrates, products, and intermediates.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date experimental records.
• Actively participate in team discussions, data reviews, and project reporting.

• A BS or MS degree in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
• Prior hands-on experience in a laboratory setting (academic research, internship, or equivalent).
• Practical experience with molecular cloning, recombinant protein expression, and biotransformation techniques.
• Working knowledge of protein expression systems and/or protein engineering principles is highly desirable.
• Experience with analytical tools such as spectrophotometers, HPLC, or GC is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to troubleshoot experiments effectively.
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks with great attention to detail.
• An enthusiasm for learning new techniques and a strong curiosity for biochemistry and enzymology.
• A self-motivated, systematic, and collaborative mindset.
