- Work closely with scientists and laboratory leaders to understand requirements and improve workflows.
- Ensure systems support sample management, reagent tracking and scientific data integrity.
- Partner with IT and external vendors to enhance system performance and scalability.
- Identify opportunities to modernise laboratory operations through technology and automation.
- Support long-term strategy around laboratory systems architecture and connectivity.
