What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a fast-paced, quality-driven laboratory role where I can follow SOPs precisely, maintain accurate sample traceability and documentation, and collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to support diagnostic testing.

I’m a detail-oriented laboratory professional with 2.5+ years’ experience in a high-throughput histopathology laboratory at Cork University Hospital. I support biomedical scientists and pathologists by preparing and processing tissue samples for diagnostic testing while maintaining strict SOP and quality standards in fast-paced environments.

I’m confident in specimen reception, labelling, logging, and tracking—ensuring accurate patient records and full compliance with laboratory protocols. I also prepare equipment and reagents, assist with tissue processing (embedding, sectioning preparation, staining assistance, and slide handling), and follow health and safety procedures, including infection control and COSHH-equivalent regulations.
