We are currently looking for a Biomedical Scientist in histology to work for our client based in Cambridgeshire.

It develops IVD products for cancer screening, diagnosis, staging, therapy selection and surveillance, and strives towards better treatment of patients worldwide through leading innovation in the biomarker field.

This post will support the implementation of prototype level product development verification and validation activities associated with the development of diagnostic, prognostic and predictive IHC kits. The ideal candidate should be a BMS grade II and have routine histology experience, including tissue processing, TMA production, embedding and cutting. Previous hands-on experience in a range of immunohistochemical techniques, in situ hybridisation, automated platforms and digital pathology systems is required.
