• Manage and coordinate works or modifications in the facilities.
• Safety and good practices in the laboratory:
  • Ensure the efficient, safe, and responsible handling of equipment, reagents, and samples to prevent both waste and exposure of workers, society, and the environment to any type of risk.
  • Manage the proper disposal of obsolete equipment and waste generated during research activities.
