Why this role matters

A clinical trial is only as good as the samples and assays behind it. This role makes sure biomarker and drug-level data from many trials are measured on time and to the right standard. It is a good fit for a PhD scientist who wants to move from the bench into drug development.

• Knowledge of drug development, clinical trial principles, and the role of bioanalysis and biomarkers in clinical studies
• Experience managing biomarker deliverables for concurrent clinical trials, and sample management across projects
• Working knowledge of ligand-binding assays, LC/MS, qPCR, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry, and of fit-for-purpose assay validation
• A solid grasp of quality assurance needs for vendor compliance and data integrity
• Clear written and spoken communication with scientists, clinicians and vendor labs across time zones

Nice to have

• Knowledge of the regulations for clinical trials and laboratories in India, China and Brazil
