Sydney Simpson Email and Phone Number
I am an accomplished Scientist experienced in the in vitro diagnostics medical device industry as an R&D team leader and active contributor on a larger cross-functional team. My background includes infectious disease and immunology research with a solid record of research publications and presentations.Some of my key accomplishments include:- Developed and submitted a patent (US18/499,718 & PCT/US2023/078368) for a method which addressed high dose hook and retained required sensitivity in a novel immunoassay technology.- Two successful root cause investigations into deviations that were observed in assay prototype performance and had stalled product development. I not only identified the root cause and found mitigations in both investigations but also improved assay sensitivity creating a more robust product. -Established relationships and consulted with two startup companies with SARS-CoV-2 related products which required BSL-3 testing capabilities, designing protocols and performing experiments according to ISO guidelines and stakeholder need.I’m know for my strategic thinking and problem solving along with my proven ability to develop plans which optimize resources while prioritizing high impact initiatives. I excel at managing multiple project components, while remaining agile. When I’m not working, I enjoy playing board games, rock climbing, and creating art. I'm a professional pet portrait artist but also enjoy painting for fun and exploring different medias when I'm not working on commissions.EXPERTISE & SKILLSInfectious DiseasesImmunologyScientific CommunicationBiostatistics (R, Prism, Minitab)Data AnalysisAnalytical and Strategic ThinkingTechnical DocumentationNational & Regional PresentationsResearch PublicationsCollaborationConflict ManagementActive ListeningMicrosoft Office

Senior ScientistQuidelortho Jul 2022 - Oct 2024Rochester, New York, United States• Presented insights including business case and scientific rationale behind developing a novel lyme-disease diagnostic product to all of US QuidelOrtho R&D employees following attendance of a tick-borne disease summit and engaging with HCPs, patients and other external stakeholders.• Worked with a cross-functional project management team as the R&D lead to develop novel immunodiagnostic assays. Oversaw the assay testing team, prototype optimization, designing and analyzing experiments according to ISO and CLSI guidelines and authoring documents. Key Accomplishments:• Developed and submitted a patent (US18/499,718 & PCT/US2023/078368) for a method which addressed high dose hook and retained required sensitivity in a novel immunoassay technology.• Improved infectious disease assay sensitivity 10-fold and identified the root cause behind a shift in immunoassay prototype performance as the leader of a 3 member team which was developed to investigate a sudden deviation in performance which had stalled product development.• Performed risk assessment and established a mitigation strategy for deviations in signal which were observed on some analyzers in the beginning of the week for a prototype hormone immunoassay. Led a 4 person team which determined the root cause and identified a potential risk for current on-market products.• Designed testing lab layout, posters on current status, and technology demo for key client, Creative Testing Solutions (CTS) the largest blood screening group in the US, to cement client commitment and contract. -

Graduate Research AssistantUniversity Of Rochester School Of Medicine And Dentistry Aug 2015 - Oct 2020• Created protocols for isolating platelets from HIV-positive individuals and quantifying HIV-platelet interactions.• Wrote a study protocol for human subjects research, which received approval from the Institutional Review Board.• Identified how HIV-platelet interactions contribute to viral pathogenesis.• Initiated the first SARS CoV-2 research in a Biosafety Level 3 laboratory through designing protocols which were approved by the institutional biosafety committee and training graduate students. -
President Of The Graduate Student SocietyUniversity Of Rochester School Of Medicine And Dentistry Apr 2018 - Aug 2020• Served as a student leader and a bridge between students and administration• Served as a student leader working with 29 student representatives across departments and representing graduate student interests on committees and in monthly meetings with the Dean of Students.Accomplishments:• Aided in the formation of a Postdoc and Graduate Student Council which collaborated on cross campus policies, and presented the impact of the pandemic on graduate students to the Board of Trustees.• Engaged students across departments and campuses, improving department representation and engagement by 30%.• Improved access to pumping rooms for graduate women raising children, reducing time spent traveling from 15 minutes to 5 minutes. This was accomplished by gathering impacted students, identifying areas which could be converted into pumping sites, and bringing a proposal to the administration.
