Project Manager, Organoids Lab
With the advent of genomic sequencing, we can finally decode and process our genetic makeup. We now have more data than ever before but providers don't have the infrastructure or expertise to make sense of said data. Here at Tempus, we believe the greatest promise for the detection and treatment of cancer lies in the deep understanding of molecular activity for disease initiation, progression, and efficacious treatment based on the discovery of unique biomarkers.
What You’ll Do:
- Plan, direct and coordinate the operational activities of a cutting-edge laboratory to support organoids development and work in partnership with next-generation sequencing laboratory
- Collaborate with lab operations leadership team and lab staff to establish operational metrics and KPIs to measure lab capacity, efficiency, and capability to ensure excellence in operations, turnaround time, and cost control
- Deliver regular business reviews to summarize laboratory financial performance, turnaround times, instrument downtime, productivity, quality and other performance metrics
- Conduct analyses as needed to highlight issues and resolve questions
- Lead streamlining and improvement efforts in instrument lifecycle management, sample tracking, working processes, and compliance efforts
- Provide solutions to highly complex problems and apply a high degree of ingenuity, creativity and innovation
