Lauren Harvey
@laurenharvey
Molecular Technologist and chemist skilled in PCR, diagnostics, and GLP-compliant lab work.
What I'm looking for
I’m a hands-on science professional with a broad background spanning veterinary clinical work and biopharmaceutical/clinical medicine. With a B.S. in Biology and certification as a National Pharmaceutical Representative, I bring both lab rigor and strong client-facing communication to every role.
In diagnostic and laboratory settings, I run and document testing with a strong focus on quality and compliance. I’ve performed PCR-based workflows, sample handling with chain of custody, QC data review, and preparation/analysis steps using microscopy, staining procedures (including Gram staining), and routine lab panels (CBC/chem).
I also bring practical chemistry and instrumentation experience from roles supporting analytical testing and method work. From GC/HPLC/GCMS to wet chemistry, purification, and data logging in regulated environments, I aim to support accurate results, safe lab operations, and continuous process improvement.
