About Our Team

The Lab Operations team serves as the essential operational foundation of Merge Labs, overseeing the complete lifecycle of our R&D environment, from the conceptualization and construction of our physical infrastructure to its large-scale operation.

This includes hands-on work such as running instrument calibrations, executing scheduled freezer defrost cycles, and routine equipment maintenance to keep the lab operational.

  • Support the lab's supply chain by placing orders, receiving and logging shipments, restocking workstations and cold storage, and proactively identifying low inventory levels before they impact operations.
