- Mentor and guide wet lab scientists, providing technical direction on assay development and validation work
- Expand the in house assay portfolio over time by leading evaluation and (if warranted) development efforts for additional assays (e.g. Illumina TruPath, proteomics)
- Present project plans, progress, and findings to senior leadership
- Guide the publication and presentation plan for assay components as well as IP strategy
What You'll Ne ed:
- Advanced degree (PhD) in Molecular Biology, Genomics, Biochemistry, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- 8+ years of wet lab experience, including hands-on work with RNASeq and next generation sequencing technologies. Experience with additional analytes (e.g., proteomics, methylation) is a plus
- Experience developing and executing project plans that include technical development, validation, budget, and quality control components
- Familiarity with clinical laboratory requirements and standards (e.g., CLIA/CAP) and experience bringing assays to a scalable and clinically ready state
- Strong collaboration skills, with experience working across wet lab, bioinformatics, clinical, and engineering teams
- Excellent communication skills and ability to articulate scientific and technical concepts to non-experts
