Bioassay Scientist

• Lead all phases of consumable development, from concept through transfer into production. Responsibilities include generating DOE’s (Design of Experiment), collecting and interpreting feasibility data for cell-based assays, optimizing reagent/consumable formulation, testing product stability, validating reagent function on multiple cell lines and instrumentation platforms, and producing customer-facing and production documentation, SOPs, and QC specifications.
• Full-time on-site bench work is expected as part of the position to develop products for multiple imaging platforms.
• Analyze, interpret, and present all gathered data to appropriate (internal or external) teams. Ensure that data generated is timely, scientifically rigorous, in line with the proposed study design, and follows industry’s best practice. Formulate next action steps.
• Train/coach junior staff on cell-based and biomolecular assays on all Revvity Cell Counting and Image cytometry systems.
• Develop consumable/reagent QC parameters.
• Produce/review the necessary consumable documentation and SOPs for downstream production group.
• Responsible for day-to-day operations of the research laboratory.
• Collaborate with different departments internally to set up biological experiments and test new equipment and consumables for next generation development.
• Monitor market trends and information to identify potential new areas for development.
• Support new scientific collaborations and applications.
• Maintain professional and technical knowledge by review professional publications and participate in professional societies, will attend educational workshops and conferences as needed.
