- 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.
