Overview Pictura Bio is a well-funded University of Oxford spin-out developing a novel diagnostic platform for rapid pathogen detection. Our technology combines fluorescence microscopy with automated image analysis and machine learning to identify pathogens in seconds. The platform is being translated into clinical diagnostic products, initially focused on respiratory infections, with broader applications across infectious disease. Role Purpose The Clinical Validation Lead will be responsible for designing, executing, and overseeing clinical and analytical validation of Pictura Bio’s diagnostic assays. You will lead validation strategy from late-stage development through clinical evaluation, ensuring studies are scientifically robust, regulator-ready, and aligned with the intended clinical use. This role is ideal for someone with hands-on experience validating diagnostic assays in regulated environments, particularly US LDTs, but experience with FDA-cleared/approved, UK, or EU IVD pathways is also highly relevant. You will work closely with assay development, data science, regulatory, and external clinical partners. Major Accountabilities · Lead the design and execution of analytical and clinical validation studies for diagnostic assays · Define validation plans covering precision, accuracy, sensitivity/specificity, LoD, reproducibility, interference, and cross-reactivity · Ensure validation studies are aligned with intended use, clinical claims, and regulatory expectations · Oversee clinical sample selection, handling, and testing in collaboration with partner laboratories and CROs · Support validation of Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs), particularly within the US regulatory framework · Contribute to validation supporting FDA (e.g. De Novo / 510(k)), UKCA, or CE-IVD pathways where applicable · Review and approve protocols, reports, and data summaries for internal and external use · Work with data science teams to ensure clinical performance metrics and analyses are appropriate and traceable · Interface with regulatory and quality teams to support technical files, submissions, and audits · Manage external stakeholders (clinical sites, reference labs, CROs) involved in validation activities · Clearly communicate validation strategy, results, and risks to senior leadership Ideal Background Education · PhD, MD, PharmD, or MSc in a relevant discipline (e.g. Clinical Sciences, Biomedical Sciences, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Microbiology) Experience · Demonstrated experience clinically validating diagnostic assays · Experience with assays such as immunofluorescence, molecular diagnostics, NGS / optical sequencing (e.g. Illumina), or imaging-based diagnostics · Experience developing or validating US Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) is highly desirable · Experience supporting FDA-cleared/approved assays (De Novo, 510(k), PMA) or UK/EU IVD pathways is advantageous · Experience working with clinical samples (e.g. respiratory samples, blood, urine, swabs) · Experience collaborating with hospital labs, reference labs, or CROs Skills · Deep understanding of diagnostic validation principles and study design · Strong knowledge of clinical performance metrics and statistical interpretation · Familiarity with regulatory and quality frameworks (e.g. CLIA, CAP, ISO 13485, ISO 15189) · Ability to translate clinical requirements into practical validation studies · Strong documentation, reporting, and review skills · Excellent communication skills, including interaction with clinicians, regulators, and executives Desirable Personal Attributes · Highly organised and detail-oriented, with a strong quality mindset · Comfortable taking ownership of complex, multi-stakeholder validation programmes · Scientifically rigorous but pragmatic in balancing timelines and regulatory expectations · Confident communicator who can explain validation decisions clearly · Comfortable working in a fast-moving, scaling diagnostics company

About us If you have multiple years experience in helping make microbes perform brilliantly in bioprocesses at a range of scales and are passionate about the environment, then read on. There are fewer than 1,000 sun bears left in the wild, due largely to deforestation. Sun Bear Biofuture was born in 2022 to use modern science and technology to have a meaningful environmental impact. We are reimagining farming to produce everyday essentials more sustainably. We’re using synthetic biology and precision fermentation to produce sustainable, resilient alternatives to fats such as cocoa butter and palm oil. Why? Well, they’re responsible for over 800m tonnes of CO2e annually and have a huge impact on the planet. Our focus is optimisation and scale-up as we grow our capacity and drive down the cost of production. Some defining qualities for us are our values: Candid, Trusting, Nurturing, Impact-Driven and Brave. If a culture built on these values sounds like a good fit then we’d love to hear from you. About you You’ll ideally have a PhD or equivalent industry experience in a related field and several years of industry R&D within bioprocess engineering, targeting scale-up and process optimisation. If you’ve worked from 1L to 1,000L that would be ideal. The ability to balance time, quality and results is needed in our fast paced startup environment. How you got to science and technology matters less to us than your passion, interest and understanding of it. We’re looking for someone who will explore and debate ideas, challenge assumptions, and feedback to others on their ideas. The role You will be working closely with our research scientists, business team and external collaborators as we optimise our lipid production fermentations and downstream processing. You will help define the strategies for optimisation of the performance of our production strains at benchtop-scale and transfer learnings to larger scales (300L+). You’ll be hands-on with the setup and refinement of our pilot-plant. Having set up facilities in the past will be a real advantage. As well as extensive experience of running fermentations, you will have worked to really understand what is happening within the fermentations and designing experiments to help further the performance of microbes within them. DoE and thinking that provides results while minimising experimental work is a real skill and something we welcome. You’ll be obsessed with improving key production metrics, such as yield, titre and productivity. You will research potential solutions to challenges, speak with experts in their field to find information and novel ideas, and be open to trying less-than-obvious solutions. You’ll work with the wider lab and business teams to ensure your work adds the greatest value possible and aligns with the objectives of the organisation. We are a startup and that makes for a ‘dynamic’ environment. It’s fun, exhilarating and a place where you'll learn a lot quickly. If you’re unsure if it's the right work environment for you, apply and we can see together. We seek to be a truly inclusive and diverse company so if you do not fit all the criteria don’t worry - having a great cultural fit is as important as the skills and experience you have built up. Responsibilities and tasks Help with overall planning and lead on the bioprocess optimisation of our products, with a focus on fermentations Set up and operate processes at benchtop (1-5L) and pilot-scale (300-1000L) Manage and collaborate closely with internal and external colleagues on R&D projects Carry out experiments and train others for the advancement of our research objectives Analyse results and monitoring data in line with our IP strategy Monitor our quality control and protocol development, championing best practices Helping develop presentations and reports for external stakeholders and IP applications Skills and experience Strong understanding of metabolic performance of microbial processes, especially yeast Extensive experience of designing, setting up and operating fermentations at a range of scales Excellent ability to plan research, manage your own time, set goals and monitor them Strong track record of lab record keeping and quality control Great communication and problem-solving skills Nice to haves: 3+ years industry experience in bioprocess development Work experience within a startup Downstream processing experience Qualifications Master’s or PhD with several years industry work experience An educational or professional background in process development, molecular biology and/or fermentation Location Oxford, UK What we offer £37,000 to £45,000 dependent on experience - because you shouldn’t have to guess what your salary would be when job searching £500 annual training budget - books, courses, training, spend it how you see fit in your own professional development 25 days holiday + bank holidays Pension scheme Subsidised gym membership Option scheme available to own a part of the business you’re helping to build Our process Stage 1.
