What is an NGS sequencing?

An NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) job involves working with high-throughput sequencing technologies to analyze DNA or RNA samples. Responsibilities may include sample preparation, sequencing run setup, data processing, and bioinformatics analysis. Professionals in this role often work in research labs, clinical settings, or biotech companies. Strong skills in molecular biology, sequencing platforms, and data interpretation are typically required.

What does an NGS sequencing do?

Professionals in NGS Sequencing routinely prepare DNA or RNA samples, perform quality control checks, operate sequencing instruments, and analyze sequencing data using specialized bioinformatics tools. Daily tasks often include troubleshooting equipment or protocols, maintaining meticulous laboratory records, and adhering to strict quality and safety standards. Team members frequently collaborate with researchers, clinicians, or project managers to interpret results and recommend next steps. The work requires a mix of hands-on laboratory work and data analysis, offering variety and the opportunity to contribute to important scientific discoveries or diagnostics.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for NGS sequencing?

To thrive in NGS Sequencing, you need a solid background in molecular biology, genomics, and laboratory techniques, often supported by a relevant degree in life sciences. Experience with next-generation sequencing platforms (such as Illumina or PacBio), data analysis software, and possibly certifications like CLIA are highly valuable. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and strong organizational skills set top candidates apart. These skills are essential for generating high-quality sequencing data, troubleshooting protocols, and ensuring accurate, timely results in a research or clinical laboratory setting.

Job description

Company Description

From the very beginning, we have been focusing on the science. We came together as a team of experts, committed to quality, driven by excellence, and dedicated to experimentation. Though we faced many challenges, we remained fearless in our research and rigorous in our thinking, pushing ourselves to work harder. However, what affected us the most was the enormous burden patient's bear and the difficulties they face, which drove us to think about what's next.

We believe it is time to accelerate and expand that transformation. At Legend Biotech, we are excited to bring clinical trials to patients in our pursuit of a cure. While we are focusing on CAR-T in multiple myeloma, we firmly believe the prospects of cellular therapy stretch beyond just one disease or indication. The spark of hope is lit. At Legend Biotech, we are using that hope to ignite the future of CAR-T cell therapy.
