Summary
Jian Qin is a Senior Scientist with nearly a decade of industrial R&D experience building high-throughput DNA and antibody assays for clinical diagnostics, spanning HLA genotyping, hemostasis testing, and cell-free DNA detection. He has led cross-functional teams through full product lifecycles—from feasibility and assay design to verification/validation, clinical trials, and FDA 510(k)/CE approvals—while driving manufacturing and QC simplifications that delivered measurable cost and time savings. Jian combines deep bench skills (NGS, multiplex PCR, qPCR/dPCR, recombinant protein expression, HPLC method development, flow and confocal cytometry) with regulatory and project leadership, routinely authoring technical reports and publications. His background includes impactful academic work on IFT122 and Sonic Hedgehog signaling published in PNAS, reflecting a strong foundation in developmental biology and genetics that informs his translational approach. Based in Syracuse, NY, he is known for translating complex molecular problems into robust, scalable diagnostics and for mentoring teams to improve assay stability, reproducibility, and launch readiness. An atypical strength is his track record of extending reagent lifetimes and streamlining documentation, yielding tangible operational savings while maintaining regulatory compliance.
