Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Micro-Credential)

  • Laboratory records and experimental data — maintain accurately using standardized templates and electronic lab notebooks under faculty or senior researcher supervision in an academic or industry research setting.
  • Standard molecular biology protocols — execute under direct oversight, including DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and gel electrophoresis, in a supervised wet-lab environment.
  • RNA purification and basic cloning procedures — perform by following established step-by-step protocols under close mentorship in a molecular biology research laboratory.
  • Scientific literature — read and summarize relevant journal articles to support understanding of assigned research questions in a graduate or postdoctoral research context.
  • Experimental data — record, organize, and perform preliminary analysis using spreadsheet software under direction in a research team environment.
  • Cell culture and basic cell biology techniques — carry out routine maintenance tasks following documented safety and procedural guidelines in a biosafety-level-appropriate laboratory.
  • Laboratory meetings and scientific seminars — participate actively by asking clarifying questions and summarizing key findings as a junior contributor in an academic research group.
  • Research presentations — prepare introductory slides and posters using presentation software under guidance from a principal investigator or senior colleague.
  • Biological databases and bioinformatics portals — navigate and retrieve sequence or functional data as directed to support ongoing molecular research projects.
  • Laboratory safety and regulatory compliance — follow all applicable protocols, including hazardous material handling and waste disposal, under supervision in a research laboratory setting.
