About Serova

Serova builds personalized cancer vaccines. Each vaccine is made for the individual patient from their own samples and given in partnership with their treating physician. Knowing exactly what a patient's tumor and immune system look like, in depth, is what every vaccine starts from.

The Role

We're building a small set of laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) with Azenta (GENEWIZ), made for cancer and cancer-vaccine patients. These aren't cheap, high-volume tests. They're built for depth: single-cell and long-read sequencing, 10,000x whole-exome from blood, and 100,000x large panels. You'll run that program with Azenta now, and plan how we bring the tests in-house once demand is there.

What you'll do

• Turn what our clinical and vaccine teams need into test specs: assay, depth, sample type and turnaround
• Own the day-to-day relationship with Azenta: scope, timelines, data handoffs, and holding them to quality and turnaround
• Write and run the development and validation plan for each LDT, from feasibility to clinical use
• Work with our bioinformatics team so the data comes back ready to analyze
• Work out the regulatory path for each test (CLIA/CAP, and FDA or UK rules where they apply) with our regulatory and quality leads
• Build the plan and business case for bringing the tests in-house
