Additionally the expert has experience in the areas of assay development, bioanalytical chemistry and food and agricultural products testing.The expert has developed methods for the quantitative analysis of toxins that
are commercialized worldwide. The expert has been directly involved in the idea and concept generation, experimental design, basic research, development, patenting, registration and manufacturing of new devices for
the qualitative and quantitative analysis of molecules in biological fluids, food and environmental samples. The methods the expert is familiar with comprise a wide array of modern techniques including classic enzyme
and radio immunoassays, fluorescence and absorbance spectroscopy, luminescence, antibody and aptamer based technologies, chromatography techniques, organic synthesis and conjugation procedures and others.
The expert has been directly in charge, and can provide coaching, in all stages of assay development, this includes but is not limited to: evaluation of idea and market potential, literature and patent search/review,
cost/benefit ratio, the design of laboratory space for assay development, instrumentation, materials and resources, bill of materials, recruiting the personnel, proof-of-concept testing, verification and validation protocols,
design of inputs-outputs, design control, design transfer, protocol writing and translation, intellectual property protection, launching to market, manufacturing. The expert can assist as well with writing of resumes and
cover letters for job applications and provide general advice with career development in the fields of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology and Biotechnology. The expert can write grant applications and advice in relation to
product registration with regulatory agencies.
