    The Research Assistant will be responsible for processing, embedding, sectioning, and staining samples for sophisticated analysis using primarily light microscopy.

    The Research Assistant will also assist in selecting and optimizing protocols for both routine and non-routine samples, providing input on research projects, and training users.
