Clinical Assay Performance Fellow

Beschreibung:

The Role
This short-term internship will support a focused project on assay performance monitoring and digital enablement across the Clinical Biomarker Laboratories (CBL).

You will evaluate current approaches to assay performance tracking (e.g. trending, control data, variability) and develop a simple, scalable digital solution to improve visibility, standardisation, and transferability across functional assay teams.

The work will be grounded in real datasets and laboratory workflows, with a focus on practical implementation and exploration of AI-driven approaches where appropriate.

What You'll Gain
* Exposure to a regulated clinical testing environment (GxP)
* Understanding of assay performance and lifecycle monitoring across multiple platforms
* Experience working at the interface of science, data, and digital/AI solutions
* Visibility and interaction with cross-functional stakeholders involved in clinical testing
* Opportunity to deliver a tangible output with potential application across CBL teams

Here's What You'll Do
Working with scientists and cross-functional stakeholders, you will:
* Review current assay performance monitoring and data trending approaches.
* Engage with Flow Cytometry, Immunoassay teams to understand workflows and data structures.
* Identify gaps in standardisation, data access, and cross-team usability.
* Design and prototype a digital solution (e.g. dashboard, automated trending, AI-supported insights)
* Explore AI/data-driven approaches to detect drift, variability, or performance issues
* Support laboratory-based activities under supervision to understand assay execution and data generation.
* Present a final recommendation and/or working prototype.

You will interact with stakeholders across Moderna's clinical testing functions (Assay Leads, Study Leads, Operations, Automation, Compliance) to ensure solutions are aligned to practical use.

Here's What You'll Need (Minimum Qualifications)
* Background in science, engineering, or data science (e.g. biology, physics)
* Interest in data, digital tools, or AI
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
* Able to work independently and synthesise input from multiple stakeholders
