Clinical Research Coordinator

Background:

Zymo Research is a private biotech company striving to have a positive impact in the biomedical field and to contribute to the greater good of humanity. The company’s strong R&D programs continue to drive innovation in the biotech and diagnostic fields and provide top quality products and services to its customers.

In the past couple of years, Zymo has been working on the development of diagnostics assays with a particular focus in the fields of oncology and infectious disease. Our immediate goal is to have an impact in the biomedical field by applying our technology and our deep understanding of genetics, epigenetics, and microbiology. A couple of these assays are already adopted by certified clinical laboratories. However, extensive and articulated clinical works (e.g., clinical studies in close collaboration with clinical centers) are in need to prove clinical utilities.

Job Description:
