I am currently working at Verv Technologies as a biochemist and QA lead. Duties include assisting in the development of electrochemical assays to be used with the Vi analyzer. Duties specific to the electrochemical assay development include running electrochemical tests with various potentiostats, 3D printing medical device components, solution preparation, and development/optimization of an analyte test. QA duties include the implementation of a QMS that satisfies the requirements of ISO 13485:2016 and regulatory requirements of various countries. This duty involves organization and applicable action of quality events, implementation of SOPs and record generation for future audits, and document control of all records/documents related and non-related to the QMS.
