Serve as a scientific resource for new projects by giving expert advice on

assay feasibility and developing a method validation experimental

plan, and projecting clear time lines for deliverables.

Designing (antigen selection, antibody production, assay development) new

assays or using an assay desired by the client, complete assay

validation, and predict the turn around times and ensure timely

deliverables.

Write detailed standard operational procedures (SOP) and protocols upon

completion of assay validation, train medical technologist to perform the

assay, and ensure smooth transfer to production.

Create training documents and provide departmental training for new or

reformulated analyte testing kits and automated panels.

Ensure compliance for 'Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments' (CLIA)

guidelines as required by College of American Pathologists (CAP).

Work with several pharmaceutical companies in the US, Europe and Japan as
