  • Experience with assay development, qualification, and validation for biomarker, PK, and/or immunogenicity (ADA) assays
  • Strong understanding of assay performance characteristics (precision, accuracy, sensitivity, selectivity, robustness)
  • Experience troubleshooting complex assay performance issues and optimizing assay conditions
  • Experience interacting with Quality Assurance and supporting audits and inspections
  • Prior experience acting in a study lead or Principal Investigator-type role is preferred
