Histotechnologist

Transforming Tissue into Breakthrough Insights

Step into a role where your histology expertise drives real drug discovery impact. Join a dynamic team in California, US, to support research projects by performing critical histological procedures.

Primary Responsibilities

• Perform end-to-end histology workflows including tissue fixation, grossing, processing, embedding, sectioning, staining, imaging, and slide preparation.
• Work with both FFPE and fresh/frozen tissue samples across a variety of tissue types.
• Prepare tissue, including grossing and embedding, and section tissue using various equipment such as cryostats, microtomes, vibratomes, and sliding-frozen microtomes.
• Execute high-volume automated immunostaining and perform routine histological staining including H&E, nuclear counterstaining, and other special stains.
• Execute and support IHC, IF, and/or ISH assays, including both manual and automated staining workflows.
• Support single- and multiplex immunodetection using chromogenic and/or fluorescence-based methods.
• Operate and perform routine maintenance on histology laboratory equipment.

Skills & Requirements

• BS or MS in Biology, Biomedical Sciences, Histology, Pathology, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, or a related scientific discipline.
• Approximately 3+ years of relevant histology experience in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, CRO, academic research, or a related laboratory environment.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience with FFPE and fresh-frozen tissue workflows.
• Strong experience with tissue processing, embedding, microtomy and/or cryosectioning, and histological staining.
• Experience performing H&E and immunohistochemical staining.
• Experience using microscopy to assess tissue morphology and staining quality.
• Experience in performing, optimizing, and implementing qualitative and quantitative tissue-based methodologies, ranging from tissue handling and processing, sectioning with microtome or cryostat, and histochemical staining.
• Experience developing, optimizing, or troubleshooting IHC, IF, ISH, or other tissue-based assays.
• Experience with automated immunostaining platforms such as Leica Bond RX, Biocare IntelliPATH, or comparable systems.
• ASCP certification (HT or HTL) is desirable.
