- At , you will help develop the assay technologies used to analyze patient samples and contribute to our mission of early detection and intervention in human disease. As a Research Associate I/II, you will provide experience in next-generation-sequencing (NGS)-based analyses of DNA. Starting with a prototype assay, you will contribute to developing and validating clinical-grade assays to measure complex, blood-based analytes. You will work closely with multiple teams including molecular research, computational science, automation engineering, and clinical operations to develop the assays in a regulated, high-throughput environment as well as identify ways to rapidly iterate and improve on existing methods to evaluate technologies that can enhance our end-to-end test performance.
- The role reports to the Senior Manager and Staff Research Scientist. This role will be an Onsite role.
- Apply knowledge of molecular biology, nucleic-acid biochemistry, and next-generation sequencing to develop assays for DNA.
- Characterize automated assays by generating and analyzing experimental data.
- Gather high-quality data, take detailed notes, and openly communicate on lessons learned while performing experiments.
- Collaborate with research team and computational biologists, understand how data reflect underlying molecular biology, and contribute to analyzing data and generating study conclusions.
- Present data in cross functional teams.
- Participate in troubleshooting efforts and design experiments with some supervisor guidance.
- Help with process improvements across the lab by thinking critically about the execution of all experiments.
