A level of manual dexterity and attention to detail is needed to complete intricate dissections of organs and tissues from multiple animal species including organ weights, visual descriptions of organs and tissues recorded onto computer systems to create data points for further analysis.

High efficiency and productivity is developed and maintained through training and constructive feedback and this is balanced with a high level of quality in all aspects of the role.

Our aim during the 2-year programme is to produce confident competent scientific technicians with the core skills to allow them to develop a career within the company.
