About the Job

Requirements

  • A PhD in Molecular Biology, Genomics, Biochemistry, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • At least 8 years of wet lab experience, including hands-on work with RNASeq and next-generation sequencing technologies.
  • Experience developing and executing project plans that include technical development, validation, budget, and quality control components.
  • Familiarity with clinical laboratory requirements and standards, such as CLIA and CAP, and experience bringing assays to a scalable and clinically ready state.
  • Experience collaborating across wet lab, bioinformatics, clinical, and engineering teams.
  • Ability to articulate scientific and technical concepts to non-experts.

Responsibilities

  • Develop a comprehensive project plan for bringing RNASeq in-house, covering development milestones, hiring needs, validation strategy, budget, and quality control.
  • Lead the technical development and validation of RNASeq assays to meet quality and performance standards.
  • Partner with automation engineers to design efficient, scalable wet lab workflows suited for clinical-scale throughput, and collaborate with clinical lab staff to ensure new assays meet regulatory and clinical laboratory requirements.
  • Work with the research bioinformatics team to align wet lab processes with downstream data analysis and pipeline needs.
  • Mentor and guide wet lab scientists, providing technical direction on assay development and validation work.
  • Expand the in-house assay portfolio by leading evaluation and, when warranted, development efforts for additional assays such as Illumina TruPath and proteomics.
  • Present project plans, progress, and findings to senior leadership.
  • Guide the publication and presentation plan for assay components, as well as intellectual property strategy.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with additional analytes such as proteomics or methylation.

About the Company

MyOme

Clinical-grade genome sequencing for disease risk

MyOme provides clinical-grade whole genome sequencing to assess disease risk for individuals and families. It uses comprehensive genome data combined with AI and machine learning to generate integrated disease risk scores that update over time as lifestyle changes occur, delivering actionable insights for lifelong health management. The company differentiates itself by offering a single, detailed genetic test that yields evolving, lifetime risk evaluations rather than a one-off report, targeting both common and rare diseases. Its goal is to enable earlier health interventions and better disease management through personalized, data-driven genetic information.
