  • Significant experience and subject matter expertise in PCR, NGS, or GEP application, significant technology and lab experience is a must.
  • Expertise and demonstrated ability to develop assays, oversee assay validation in-house or with external vendors, develop appropriate controls/QC methodology, oversee clinical sample analysis, and assay performance.
  • Experience with additional technologies leveraged for ctDNA analysis and GEP analysis is considered a critical requirement for this role.
  • Understanding of fit-for-purpose genomics assay validation principles for clinical assays.
  • Expertise in serving as subject matter expert on technology-specific data structure, data analysis, data QC in working with data analysis teams and biostatistics teams.
  • Basic understanding of IP, contracting terms, and provisions.
  • Must have strong organizational, communication, interpersonal, and collaborative skills.
  • Must display excellent leadership and mentoring qualities for technical teams and matrixed teams.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Familiarity with genomics assay qualification/validation guidelines and guidance (FDA, CAP, CLIA, ACMG, NYSDOH, global regulatory requirements for assay development).
  • Basic understanding of IVD quality system standards (21 CFR part 820, ISO13485) would be a plus.
  • Knowledge of clinical sample analysis regulatory and quality frameworks and guidance in the lab and at vendors (such as GCP, CLIA, CAP, and NYDOH).
