Research Scientist in Molecular Diagnostics for Colorectal Cancer Screening
2 months ago
Our Company
Origin Sciences is a medical technology company based in Granta Park (Cambridge) that develops innovative devices and IVD tests to aid in the detection and diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases. Origin Sciences have developed a minimally invasive sample collection device to consistently and robustly collect rectal mucus specimens, which are leveraged for diagnostic assay development.
Our current focus is the development of diagnostic solutions for colorectal cancer (CRC) detection, triage and surveillance. Our motivation is to enable the NHS to focus more resources on those patients with serious pathologies by reducing waiting times, enabling earlier detection, and reducing unnecessary investigations performed on healthy patients. This diagnostic is analogous to blood-based liquid biopsy but has the advantage of sampling material closer to the pathology of interest.
Requirements
The Role
We are seeking a motivated scientist with strong experience in basic molecular biology techniques, such as PCR/qPCR, and the extraction, quantification, and analysis of genetic material. It is an opportunity for candidates with a solid background in molecular biology to take a key role in supporting projects leading to the development of diagnostic assays.
The position is suitable for an individual who enjoys working flexibly in a fast-paced, dynamic setting. As our company is in its early stages, there are opportunities for growth and development as we expand and evolve.
Main Duties May Include:
- Performing DNA/RNA Extractions.
- Executing and Validating qPCR and NGS Assays.
- Managing Biobank and Clinical Sample Storage.
