Siddharth Pattnaik — Operations Associate
As the Manager of Biotech, I lead the design, development, and validation of innovative diagnostic test strips and devices for diverse health conditions. With over seven years of experience in biochemistry and molecular biology, I have contributed to multiple patents and publications in point-of-care testing and biomarker detection. I combine classical antibody engineering knowledge with AI-driven computational methods to design and optimize antibodies for lateral flow assays, enhancing their affinity, specificity, and robustness. This integrated approach accelerates assay development and improves diagnostic performance. I have led and supported several projects involving enzyme assays, immunoassays, and biosensors, collaborating with internal R&D, data science, and clinical teams, as well as external partners and clinical trial collaborators. My core competencies include research design and execution, computational modeling, data analysis and interpretation, project management, and team leadership. I am passionate about creating accessible and affordable diagnostic solutions that bridge molecular science and technology to improve health outcomes worldwide.
