Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Lateral Flow Assay (LFA) Development Scientist to lead the design, development, and validation of novel in-vitro diagnostic assays. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in assay sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility, with a strong background in assay optimization and scale-up. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the seamless transition of assay designs from R&D to production, and contribute to advancing diagnostic solutions that improve patient outcomes.
Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the development and validation of novel lateral flow assays focusing on assay sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility.
• Design, optimize, and scale up LFA systems, integrating critical assay components and control systems to ensure robust performance.
• Troubleshoot and refine assay development processes to meet regulatory standards and address key performance parameters.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical, software, sourcing) to facilitate smooth technology transfer from R&D to production.
• Identify and work with external vendors for material sourcing, assay customization, and large-scale manufacturing.
• Conduct comprehensive system and subsystem performance evaluations using clinical samples in both lab and field environments.
• Maintain meticulous records of experimental protocols, data analyses, and interpretations in line with best lab practices.
• Drive strategic collaborations for acquiring and validating clinical samples such as blood, urine, and serum.
