Application Scientist
(Biochemistry)
Turn Breakthrough Science into Real-World Solutions
Why This Role Matters
When a researcher's stem cell differentiation fails, months of work can be lost. When an antibody
doesn't perform as expected, a clinical study stalls. At Filtrous, we don't just sell reagents and cell
culture products. We help scientists succeed. As our Application Scientist in Biochemistry, you'll be
the expert who bridges the gap between our products and real laboratory challenges. You'll develop
validated protocols, travel to customer sites to solve problems firsthand, and create the technical
content that helps scientists get results faster. Your work will directly impact research outcomes in
cell therapy, diagnostics, and life science discovery.
What You'll Do
• Turn Complex Techniques into Reproducible Success: Develop and validate cell culture
protocols, stem cell differentiation methods, and immunoassays that customers can trust. You'll
eliminate the trial-and-error that wastes their time and resources.
• Be the Expert in the Field: Travel to customer sites to troubleshoot failed experiments, optimize
antibody panels, and validate molecular assays. Your hands-on support turns frustrated
customers into loyal partners.
• Bridge the Knowledge Gap: Many labs lack expertise in advanced techniques like iPSC culture or
multiplex immunoassays. You'll conduct training sessions that unlock capabilities they didn't know
they had.
• Create Content that Sells: Author application notes, white papers, and protocols that
demonstrate product value. Your technical content becomes the proof that wins new customers.
• Shape What We Build: Collaborate with R&D; to ensure new products actually work in customer
workflows. Your field insights prevent costly product-market mismatches.
• Arm the Sales Team: Provide technical demonstrations and answer the hard questions during
customer engagements. Your expertise closes deals that sales alone cannot.
How Success is Measured
• Deliver 6+ validated protocols and technical application notes per quarter that customers can
implement immediately
• Achieve 90%+ customer satisfaction on field support visits and training sessions
• Reduce product-related support tickets by providing clear documentation and proactive training
• Contribute to new product launches with field-validated performance data
Why You'll Love It Here
At Filtrous, you're not buried in a corporate R&D; lab running the same assay forever. You're a key
player working closely with a small, collaborative team where your expertise directly impacts
customers and products. You'll report directly to the Director of R&D;, collaborate daily with sales,
QC, and operations, and see your protocols used by real scientists solving real problems. You'll travel,
meet customers, and build deep expertise across multiple applications. And as Filtrous grows, you'll
grow with us: expanding into new product areas, mentoring future hires, and shaping our technical
direction.
Who You Are
• Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, or related field (required)
• Hands-on expert in cell culture, stem cells, immunoassays, and molecular biology techniques
• Proficient with key platforms: flow cytometry, qPCR, ELISA, Western blot, cell-based assays
• Strong communicator: you can explain complex science to both PhDs and technicians
• Customer-focused: you genuinely enjoy solving problems and helping scientists succeed
• Willing to travel: customer sites, training sessions, and industry events
Bonus points if you have:
• Experience with iPSC culture, stem cell differentiation, or cell therapy manufacturing
• Background in antibody development, validation, or immunoassay optimization
• Track record of published application notes or technical publications
• Experience in clinical diagnostics or GMP/regulated environments
