What I'm looking for

I’m preparing to return to work and targeting UK-based clinical research, life-sciences operations, and customer support roles, including remote or hybrid opportunities.

At Senzo Health, I supported the development and validation of rapid lateral-flow and advanced immunoassay prototypes, including ELISA-based validation. I also contributed to bioassay validation and documentation for regulatory and quality standards.

At Cignpost Diagnostics, I performed molecular diagnostic workflows including RT-PCR, RNA extraction and next-generation sequencing. I handled clinical specimens and maintained sample and information records using SLIMS/LIMS, SharePoint, RFID and Excel.

At Cignpost Diagnostics, I trained colleagues in laboratory procedures and supported UKAS accreditation readiness through SOPs, risk assessments and ISO 15189 practices. I also monitored procedural and regulatory changes affecting laboratory operations.

My experience also includes quality control and R&D testing at Lupin Laboratories Pvt. Ltd, and medical coding at GeBBS Healthcare Solutions. I have an MSc in Cancer Biology and a BSc in Pharmacy, and I’m preparing to return to work after a planned career break for maternity and childcare.
