USD 50 /hr

Freelance, contract-to-hire, molecular geneticist | Expert in molecular biology techniques at the wet laboratory.

Profile Summary

30+ years experience in the laboratory work using various molecular biology techniques including, but not limited to, cloning, PCR, sequencing, array, blotting on DNA, RNA and protein. I have also done mouse work, histology, and biochemical techniques. I am able to pick up new techniques quickly and adjust to new laboratories easily, saving you from training new employees to do a few months of work.
