  • Developing high throughput sequencing-based assays (such as Illumina, PacBio, Nanopore) to identify clinically actionable DNA/RNA mutations.
  • Developing droplet digital PCR/qPCR/RT-qPCR-based assays for rare genetic mutation detection.

     

Qualifications

Candidates need to bring a strong entrepreneurial orientation along with teamwork skills and an absolute commitment to competing with the highest level of integrity.

Key requirements include:
 

  • Minimal associate degree in biology.
  • Experience with molecular diagnosis experiments is preferred.
