Laboratory Operations Assistant
Our Company
The Origin Group Limited (TOGL (Holdings) Ltd) is the parent organisation and technical service provider to a focused portfolio of UK-based medical technology, research, and innovation companies. Organisations within the group include Origin Sciences, Ellele Health, and Biomii. Based in Granta Park, Cambridge, UK, the organisation has established, and managed, several clinical studies to collect and biobank a range of sample types, including mucus-based biospecimens using our proprietary medical device. The biobank provides a valuable source of clinical material that we use for research, method/technology development, and the creation of diagnostic assays.
Currently, our primary focuses are in the early detection of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) and pre-cancerous lesions as well as cancers of the gynaecological tract. Our motivation is to streamline diagnostic pathways, providing efficient screening, triage, treatment selection, and surveillance solutions with greater utility than existing methodologies, enabling healthcare systems to detect earlier, reduce waiting times, and minimise invasive procedures.
The Role
The group conducts multiple research projects simultaneously within our facilities, including established workflows for batch processing clinical biospecimens, from biobanking through to downstream analytics such as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Laboratory Operations exists to ensure the effective management of resource, facilities, equipment, and operational processes that are foundational to these activities.
