Assistant Engineer

CNRS Biologist

Stephanie_Ruault

position description

Development and implementation of new molecular biology techniques for the preparation, characterization and study of samples from marine invertebrates (molluscs, crustaceans, polychaetes) to understand the mechanisms of evolution and adaptation of these organisms from highly diversified environments (coastal areas, polar regions and hydrothermal sources):
- DNA/RNA extraction
- preparation of ddRAD genomic banks for next generation sequencing
- Quantitative PCR

Laboratory management: order of consumables and products necessary for the proper functioning of the team laboratories.

Technical coaching and student training.

First Aid Lifeguard

Member of the “Protocols” working group.
