About Origin Sciences

Origin Sciences is a start-up biotechnology company based in Granta Park, just south of Cambridge. We develop our own innovative medical devices, which we use in clinical trials to collect a biobank of mucus-based biospecimens. This biobank provides clinical material for our research and development streams to assist with diagnostic development.

We are creating a minimally invasive and accurate cancer diagnostic, which will allow the NHS to focus resources on patients with more serious pathologies. Our motivations are to reduce NHS waiting times, enable earlier cancer detection and reduce unnecessary investigations performed on healthy patients.

Our cancer diagnostic is analogous to blood-based liquid biopsies. However, we have the advantage of evaluating material that was collected closer to the pathology of interest.

We are seeking a Data Manager/Clinical Data Coordinator to undertake data management activities and to assist the clinical team with trial coordination. This will include the management of data acquired from our EDC system, and ensuring the highest data quality in interventional studies, whilst adhering to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and data security protocols.

The successful candidate will liaise with clinicians for the data collection and with the wet lab team for sample data management.
