I am an enthusiastic, reliable, and easy-going professional individual who am seeking for an application specialist/ R&D scientist/ project manager position in a biomedical device company. I have 2-year experience in optical system, 6-year experience in developing optical biosensor and 2-year experience in developing microfluidics. I was also a part-time ELISA scientist in clinical lab for 2 years, and a project manager in a start-up team for 1 year. Currently I am a postdoctoral fellow in developing microfluidic biochip. With extensive experience in clinical lab, academia, and translational research, I am looking for an opportunity to contribute my knowledge and grow. I look forward to an exciting start in real biomedical industry and building up a successful career in a market-leading company.
