The Clinical Laboratory Study Manager serves as a critical bridge between scientific strategy and operational execution. Working closely with the Precision Medicine Strategy Lead, clinical study teams, and specialized groups such as Data Management (DM), Samples, Kits, Data, Logistics (SKDL), and Clinical Laboratory Project Management (CLPM), this role ensures the delivery of high-quality samples and data. The primary mission is to support biomarker and non-biomarker evaluations, enabling the translation of scientific discoveries into tangible medical treatments.
In this position, you will oversee the entire lifecycle of clinical sample management, from collection and chain of custody to usage per informed consent forms, storage, and eventual destruction. You will act as a key liaison between internal stakeholders and external vendors, including central and specialty laboratories, to ensure samples are collected strictly according to protocol. Your expertise will be vital in resolving sample-related queries, managing vendor relationships, and supporting Clinical Trial Management (CTM) and CROs to maintain data integrity throughout the trial.
Your work involves active participation in cross-functional study teams, collaborating on the development of informed consent forms (ICF) and addressing regulatory escalations from IRBs or Ethics Committees. You will build and maintain lab databases to meet specific trial needs regarding kits, testing, and logistics, while monitoring the acquisition and testing of various sample types, including human tissue, whole blood, plasma, and serum.
A significant portion of your time will be dedicated to operational oversight, including the planning and integration of sample collection, processing, shipping, and data reporting. You will assess vendors, forecast operational costs, review invoices, and prepare Requests for Proposals (RFPs) to ensure alignment with budget plans. Additionally, you will provide guidance and training to vendors, collaborators, and clinical sites on proper sample handling procedures and ensure compliance with study protocols and applicable consent forms.
