- Contribute to scientific R&D projects through hands-on design, execution, and analysis of laboratory experiments.
- Conducting regular in silico analysis and reports of designed assays against evolving target pathogens, including design and maintenance of necessary bioinformatics tools, and reporting.
- Resolve complex technical challenges in line with clinical diagnostic assay requirements, while adhering to published regulatory standards and guidance.
- Preparation and QC of master mixes and reagents for production of CE-marked and RUO products.
REQUIREMENTS:
Ideally, you'll have a PhD in a life science discipline (Microbiology, Genomics, Molecular Biology, or Biochemistry), as well as significant experience in molecular assay development and optimisation, particularly in the context of LAMP. You'll have experience working to strict quality standards and in regulated environments (ISO 13485, UK MDR, IVDR, etc.) through exposure to the IVD / diagnostics industry.
