Summary
Jack Sonoda is a research scientist with a biochemistry and cell biology BS from UC San Diego and three-plus years of hands-on experience developing and scaling lateral flow diagnostics, including SARS-CoV-2 antigen assays. He has progressed from antibody production lead to R&D and process roles, driving assay optimization, antibody screening, GMP-compliant manufacturing readiness, and authoring SOPs/WIs for regulatory submissions. Comfortable bridging lab and production, Jack combines practical expertise in antibody conjugation, colloidal gold and nano-shell technologies, and HPLC-based purification with cross-functional collaboration across QC, QA, and manufacturing. Based in Costa Mesa and actively upskilling in software development (JS/TS, React, Node, SQL/NoSQL), he brings both bench rigor and an eye for automation and reproducible workflows—and is open to local opportunities due to a recent move closer to family.
