Welgen, Inc. Work Values

Daily Duties at Welgen, Inc.:

Worked with yeast expression system: constructed recombinant pDNAs and yeast strains, performed pilot fermentations in flasks, analysed protein expression by SDS-PAGE, coomassie and silver staining, estimated antibacterial activity by plate assays, determined MIC in 96-well plates. As the Research Scientist worked with the literature, discussed optimization of experimental conditions with president and team members, did experiments according to established optimized protocols and organized results to deliver the product as soon as possible.

What they like about Welgen, Inc.:

You highly value a work environment built on a formal structure, rules, and regulations. You do not enjoy the unpredictability of shifting priorities and deadlines that upset your routine. You require and enjoy direction, input and accountability as part of your work environment. You have a strong need to participate in making key decisions and feel left out if your superiors or co-workers do not seek your input when making decisions. You thrive on providing good customer service to both internal or external customers, and doing so makes you feel good.
