Post Name: ARS- Biology
Experience Required: 08-14 years
Project deliverables:
Involvement in design, establish/validate various biochemical and cell-based assays to enable screening
of NCEs.
Delivery of in vitro assays development, regular screening and data QC to enable efficient high quality
project progression at pace
Meticulously demonstrate consistency of high quality in study plan, reports, and related matter.
Always be aware of study outcome and anticipate problems that may affect timing, quality or integrity,
and take appropriate action to resolve problems.
Critical interpretation and presentation of data to partners.
Managing client expectations: Accountability for completion of assay development/screening on time,
literature search etc. Weekly or Biweekly meetings to update the progress of the project Ad hoc
meetings to update any challenges or change in scope of the project
Communication: Weekly updates and TCs, e-mail responses within 24 h, update Group lead/HOD
any challenges which need management attention.
Laboratory maintenance: Monthly/quarterly review of common as well as project reagent
inventory.
