  • Strong expertise in cell culture techniques and developing/qualifying cell-based assays, including ELISA and ddPCR methods.
  • Proficiency in data analysis and interpretation, particularly in the context of molecular and cellular assays.
  • Experience transferring assays to contract testing labs and ensuring their robustness and reproducibility.
  • Demonstrated excellence in experimental design, execution, and analysis.
  • Ability to think critically, troubleshoot effectively, and propose innovative solutions to assay challenges.
  • Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and meticulous record-keeping.
  • Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex scientific concepts effectively.
  • Flexibility and adaptability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and collaborate in a fast-paced team environment.
  • Highly self-motivated with a commitment to excellence and the flexibility to accommodate occasional weekend work if necessary.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with additional analytical techniques relevant to cellular characterization, such as flow cytometry or qPCR.
  • Hands-on experience in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) culture maintenance, differentiation protocols, and hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) culture.
  • Previous experience in designing, optimizing, and validating assays for the characterization of stem cell-derived products.
  • Knowledge of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and regulatory requirements for analytical methods in cell therapy product development.
