Key Responsibilities

QC Method Development & Qualification

Serve as a key in-lab contributor for qualifying analytical methods that support GMP manufacturing and clinical lot release.
Execute and support the design of well-controlled method development, optimization, and qualification/validation studies for potency, purity, identity, and safety attributes.
Qualify critical process analytics and release assays, including cell-based potency assays, flow cytometry panels, ELISA, qPCR, and imaging-based analyses relevant to ocular cell therapy products.
Author and review method protocols, validation reports, SOPs, specifications, and Certificates of Analysis (CoAs) in compliance with GMP documentation standards.
