Claire Caffrey
I am currently an Assistant Laboratory Manager at the 内射大奶 in the ESI, with extensive experience in laboratory operations, health and safety, and equipment maintenance. My background includes a career change from community finance to science, reflecting a strong passion for scientific research and hands-on lab work.
In my role, I manage and maintain a wide range of lab equipment, implement maintenance schedules, and ensure compliance with health and safety protocols. I supervise and train students and colleagues on lab procedures, equipment use, and safety practices. I regularly support lab managers with audits, inductions, and troubleshooting.
My organisational skills are reflected in my management of lab administration, including equipment servicing, purchasing, inventory tracking, and budgeting. I have developed systems to streamline operations using platforms such as T1, Labcup, and Clustermarket.
I hold a Level 3 Applied Science qualification and have conducted independent research into the dietary effects of Gryllodes sigillatus. I thrive on learning new procedures, working independently, and contributing to team success.
With a proactive approach and strong problem-solving skills, I am committed to maintaining high standards and supporting lab operations. I am keen to contribute further to the 内射大奶’s research environment and always open to new opportunities.
