We are seeking an enthusiastic Biobank Technician to support the Liverpool University Biobank at the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital (L14 3PE). This full-time role is split between the hospital and LUB, supporting high-quality human sample collection, processing, storage and analysis for University of Liverpool researchers and external collaborators. The postholder will work with the Liverpool Aortic Biomechanics and Biochemistry Research Group (LABB) on cardiovascular research focused on aortic disease. Funded by TADCT, the role will support the development of an AortaBank.
