Lab technician (biology)

Biology lab technicians keep research and testing labs running by preparing samples, running standard assays, maintaining equipment, and recording results accurately. The work is hands-on and routine-driven, following established protocols while watching for anything that deviates from expected outcomes.

They support scientists in academic, clinical, pharmaceutical, and industrial labs, often as an entry point into a research career. The role suits reliable, methodical people with good manual dexterity who take pride in clean technique and careful record-keeping.
