Assist in identifying ideal assay targets based on literature/market/survey-based research
Collaborate with other IDMxS research clusters (Transduction, Analysis, and Translation) to package the optimized assays into a complete commercial product
Perform outreach and collaborate with industry and clinical partners
Perform literature reviews and stay up to date on developments in the field
Author regular reports and presentations to keep stakeholders updated on progress
Contribute to publications and patent applications
Collaborate with other IDMxS researchers to conceptualize and propose novel assays when feasible
Supervise PhD and undergraduate student projects as required
Job Requirements:
PhD Degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, Biophysics, or related disciplines
Excellent knowledge in biochemistry/biophysics (nucleic acid design, protein interactions)
Experience in analytical assay design and optimization is preferred
Experience with optical imaging methods is preferred
Experience in nanomaterials synthesis (gold/silver) and conjugation is a benefit
Good writing and communication skills
