Laboratory Technician / Assistant – CTC & Cancer Cell Analysis

Key Responsibilities

• Operate laboratory equipment and cell-analysis systems for Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) detection, capture and analysis.
• Perform CTC-related testing and analysis using clinical samples in accordance with established protocols and procedures.
• Review and interpret test results and analytical reports generated from CTC / cancer-cell analysis systems.
• Assess key analytical parameters including CTC capture efficiency, cell recovery rate, cell viability and sample quality.
• Perform sample preparation and processing required for CTC detection and analysis.
• Monitor instrument performance and ensure accuracy and consistency of test results.
• Maintain accurate records of samples, testing procedures, machine outputs and analytical results.
• Assist in evaluating and optimizing CTC testing procedures and analytical performance.
• Ensure laboratory procedures comply with relevant safety, quality and operating standards.
• Perform other laboratory-related duties as assigned.

Qualifications and Experience

To excel in this role, candidates should possess:

• Diploma, Higher Diploma, Bachelor's degree or above in Biomedical Science, Biotechnology, Biological Science, Medical Laboratory Science, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology or related disciplines.
• Previous hands-on experience in CTC (Circulating Tumor Cell) cancer-related clinical experiments or studies is required.
• Hands-on experience operating cell-analysis, cell-capture or cancer-cell research equipment is required.
• Experience with the NX One system/platform is highly preferred but not mandatory.
• Candidates without NX One experience must have practical experience operating other relevant equipment for cancer-cell detection, capture, isolation or analysis.
• Ability to read, understand and interpret cell-analysis results and reports is essential.
• Familiarity with capture efficiency, recovery rate, cell viability and related analytical parameters is highly preferred.
• Experience in microscopy, fluorescence imaging, immunostaining, flow cytometry or other cell-analysis techniques would be an advantage.
• Detail-oriented with good analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Good command of English is essential; Cantonese and Mandarin are highly desirable.
• Immediate availability is highly desirable.

Preferred Experience

Experience in any of the following would be an advantage: CTC enrichment/isolation systems, rare-cell detection and analysis, automated cell imaging/analysis, flow cytometry, fluorescence-based cell detection, clinical cancer research or oncology-related laboratory studies.
