Specific tasks may include solid-phase and liquid-liquid extractions, development of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry methods, and analysis of “-omics” datasets. While some relevant experience is desired, training will be provided. We offer a supportive environment and design projects to meet each lab member’s career development goals.
