Assay Development & POC Diagnostics Expert: Immunofluorescence, Buffers, Workflow Optimisation

Profile Summary

Diagnostics specialist with 10+ years of hands‑on experience in assay development, workflow optimisation, and practical problem solving. At LumiraDx, I worked across almost every aspect of the LumiraDx meter platform and played a key role in developing Amira — an ultra‑low‑cost OTC diagnostic system designed for high‑volume global use. I support small diagnostics teams who need clear, actionable technical guidance without unnecessary complexity. My work includes immunofluorescence assay optimisation, viral extraction buffer design, swab material evaluation, end‑fill test strip development, sample applicator optimisation, early‑feasibility R&D, lab setup, pilot manufacturing support, and comparative analysis of troponin assays. I’m returning to consulting with a focus on helping small diagnostics companies troubleshoot assays, streamline workflows, and make confident technical decisions — practical, clear, and grounded in real experience.
