About Us:

Technoculture Research is re-imagining how the world measures health. We build micro-scale electrochemical laboratories that place lab-grade accuracy directly in the hands of clinicians, community health workers, and even patients at home. Our platform fuses microfabricated electrodes, novel surface chemistries, and microfluidics to run protein, nucleic-acid, and metabolite assays within minutes. By replacing costly optical detection with electron sensing, we slash instrument and per-test costs by roughly an order of magnitude, making precision diagnostics truly accessible. Our mission is clear: make diagnostics abundant so that every critical health decision is guided by immediate, affordable results, wherever care happens.

We are seeking a motivated Biotech Reader with a background in Biochemistry and a strong understanding of enzymes and metabolic pathways. The role involves assay development, biochemical analysis, and contributing to research efforts for advancing our diagnostic platform. The ideal candidate will bridge biochemical insights with our electrochemical detection systems.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, optimise, and validate biochemical assays based on enzymatic reactions and metabolic pathways.
• Analyse metabolic and enzymatic data from electrochemical detection platforms.
• Work closely with the R&D team on integrating biochemical processes with microfluidic devices.
• Conduct literature reviews and apply biochemical knowledge to enhance assay design.
• Maintain accurate laboratory records and contribute to scientific reports.
• Support troubleshooting of biochemical protocols and data interpretation.

Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Biochemistry, Biotechnology, or a related life sciences field.
• Strong knowledge of enzymes, enzyme kinetics, and metabolic pathways.
• Hands-on experience with biochemical assays and analytical techniques.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in electrochemical biosensing or bioassay development.
• Familiarity with microfluidics or point-of-care diagnostic systems.
• Exposure to interdisciplinary research environments.

Skills:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a research team.
• Proficiency in experimental design and data analysis.
• Effective scientific communication (both written and verbal).

Personal Attributes:

• Curiosity-driven with a passion for applied research.
• Detail-oriented with a commitment to quality and precision.
• Proactive, self-motivated, and adaptable.
• Open to learning new techniques and interdisciplinary approaches.
