• Experience performing MSD, ELISA and/or other immunoassays.
• Experience developing and qualifying denovo immunoassays for measuring analytes in complex matrices.
• Practical experience with a broad range of in‑vitro biological assays (e.g., cell reporter cell lines, cell signaling, cytokine release).
• Experience and knowledge of mammalian cell culture techniques.
• Outstanding experimental design, problem‑solving, and data analysis skills.
• Experience with automation, inventory systems, data analysis and informatics platforms.
• Strong sense of urgency in delivering high‑quality, reproducible decision‑making data.
