Job Description
At PrognomiQ, we aim to transform healthcare by generating and using systems biology data to develop and commercialize tests for early detection and treatment of cancer and other complex diseases. PrognomiQ leverages leading proteomics technology, including the Proteograph product suite from Seer, as part of a multi-omics platform that provides an unprecedented molecular view of health and disease. We are a team of experienced and accomplished scientists supported by leading investors in healthcare and technology.
Would you like to be part of a team at the forefront of molecular data and analyses that change how cancer and other complex diseases are detected and treated? Do you aspire to work with cutting-edge ‘omics technology and data science? Are you eager to join a world-class scientific team bringing disruptive solutions to market? Do you thrive in an environment of cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation?
As an early member of the PrognomIQ multidisciplinary scientific team, you will help develop a platform for scalable, high-throughput, and reproducible multi-omics analysis of cancer and other complex diseases. Your expertise will significantly influence the scientific and technological direction of proteomics within our multi-omics platform. You will collaborate within a highly interdisciplinary team, integrating multiple omics signals into a comprehensive systems biology view of each patient as we discover, develop, and commercialize solutions to save lives.
PrognomIQ is leveraging advances in proteomic methods (Seer Bio’s Proteograph Suite) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to revolutionize non-invasive diagnostics. We value highly motivated experts passionate about creating disruptive diagnostic technologies for early disease detection, as they are critical to our success.
Duties:
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of mass spec scientists, automation engineers, data scientists, software developers, and clinical researchers to develop LDT and IVD products for early cancer detection in liquid biopsy samples.
- Provide technical expertise to support LDT and IVD submissions to regulatory agencies.
- Manage the execution of various product development studies.
- Assist in planning strategies for product design, verification, validation, and technical transfer to CLIA labs.
- Lead experimental design, execution, and data analysis efforts.
- Supervise testing to establish assay performance characteristics and support regulatory submissions.
- Supervise activities of direct reports and mentor junior team members.
- Write SOPs, protocols, and reports supporting regulated product development.
- Manage relationships with CROs and CMOs involved in IVD development.
- Evaluate and develop methods to enrich low-abundance analytes in plasma.
Requirements:
- PhD in biochemistry, analytical chemistry, or related field with 2+ years (Scientist) or 8+ years (Senior Scientist) relevant industry experience.
- Experience in IVD product development is required for Senior Scientist and strongly preferred for Scientist roles.
- Management experience is required.
- Experience with immunoassay development is highly desired but not mandatory.
- Experience with targeted mass spectrometry assays is a plus, not required.
- Proven ability to meet timelines and achieve milestones.
- Ability to work well independently and in small teams, meeting deadlines.
- Highly organized with excellent attention to detail and documentation skills.
- Effective time management and multitasking abilities.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills, with a collaborative mindset.
- Passion for breakthroughs in a fast-paced startup environment.
- Strong problem-solving skills and drive.
