Job Description


Laboratory Research Technician IV




The Demetris Research Histology Services (RHS) laboratory provides complete translational research histology services which include serving as a core lab for the Immune Tolerance Network (ITN), multiple Clinical Trials in Organ Transplantation (CTOT), and multiple grants and corporate local, national, and international clinical trials. The RHS lab specializes in sample preparation, sectioning, routine staining, and immunohistochemistry services. Currently, we are providing these services for twelve sponsors with additional contracts pending. Several of the clinical trials we are supporting are extremely time-sensitive and require a rapid turnaround.
