Hands-on experience in setting up, operating, developing methods, and troubleshooting liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry systems from various instrument vendors. Skilled in sample preparation, data acquisition, and analysis, with proficiency in latest proteomics data analysis software. Experience in targeted protein degradation or ubiquitin-proteasome system biology highly desirable.
Additional Laboratory Skills: Practical knowledge of cell culture, affinity pull-down or other chemical biology methods preferred but not required. Experience in sample handling automation a plus.
