    Default job background
    Description
    Overview


    The Biopathology Center (BPC) within The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital (NCH) is a primarily grant-funded biorepository and clinical laboratory with the objective of acquisition and long-term storage of a large number of cancerous, normal and diseased biospecimens and related data.

    These biospecimens are used for the purpose of supporting and facilitating cutting edge research and advancing clinical patient care.

    In accordance with provisions of approved protocols, the BPC serves as biorepositories for the Children's Oncology Group (COG), NRG Oncology, SWOG (formerly the Southwest Oncology Group), the Pediatric Division of the Cooperative Human Tissue Network (pCHTN), Experimental Therapeutics Clinical Trials Network (ETCTN), and other sponsor groups.

    This is a fast-paced, team-oriented laboratory that requires the ability to work well under pressure and maintain constant attention to detail.

    The position requires frequent communication via phone and email with submitting institutions, internal coordinating laboratories, and external investigators.

    This role does not perform hypothesis-based research on the biospecimens - we serve a supporting role to facilitate clinical testing and research.

    The Biorepository Medical Laboratory Assistant is responsible for providing clerical and patient care support, especially in specimen handling and processing, as assigned.

    May perform any of the following depending on work location:

    specimen accessioning and data verification; specimen handling and transport to facilitate clinical testing and clinical trials; performing laboratory or equipment maintenance; maintains inventory of various laboratory and operating supplies.

    Perform waived laboratory testing.

    The Biorepository Medical Laboratory Assistant will be a supportive link between Nationwide Children's Hospital laboratory customers and other areas within the Laboratory.

    This position should project a professional image through direct and indirect communication to both internal and external Nationwide Children's Hospital customers.
