GastroLab India Pvt. Ltd | Medical Science Liaison | jalandhar

About the job
GastroLab India Private Limited (GIPL) is a cutting-edge start-up poised to revolutionise the landscape of gastroenterology diagnostics. GIPL is committed to bridging gaps in GI health management by leveraging technological innovations that make early and non-invasive health screening accessible and actionable for individuals across India. As a fast-paced organisation collaborating with innovative healthcare companies, we are at the forefront of driving change in the healthcare sector.
We specialise in enabling cutting-edge medical technologies, ranging from point-of-care monoclonal antibody-based rapid tests to device-based studies like Electrogastrography (EGG), at the forefront of gastroenterology.
As a pioneering leader in Gastroenterology diagnostics, GastroLab India offers an exciting opportunity for a Medical Science Liaison to join our dynamic team.
Position Overview:
We seek a dynamic and motivated individual with a life science, biotechnology, or biomedical engineering background to join our team as a MSL for our state-of-the-art GI physiology lab assays. The paid internship offers a career ladder development plan to progress towards becoming a Clinical Application Specialist and the pinnacle of leadership within the clinical application team as a Senior Clinical Application Specialist.
As a CAI, you will play a crucial role in demonstrating the utility of current and upcoming test technologies within GastroLab India's portfolio. The role involves hands-on experience with novel diagnostic testing technologies, conducting EGG studies, and contributing to clinical analysis of real-world data generated at multiple sites.
The CAI role is built on three pillars. The first pillar involves demonstrating the utility of current and upcoming test technologies as part of GastroLab India's portfolio. These technologies range from point-of-care monoclonal antibody-based rapid tests to ELISA and turbidimetry-based markers, LAMP PCR, and device-based studies like Electrogastrography (EGG).
None of the medical devices we work with are me-too. Each of the 10+ and growing range of medical devices we work with is the first of its kind. In most cases, we have absolute market leadership. We are exclusive scientific partners for the inventors of these test technologies from around the globe.
The technology at the heart of this profile is electrogastrography (EGG), which has the same potential as ECG in the cardiology domain. Therefore, one of the critical responsibilities of the Clinical Application Intern would be to perform the EGG studies on the enrolled patients across the selected GI centres of excellence. The hands-on tasks would involve interacting with the patients and clinicians to discuss the patient's EGG study outcomes.
Regarding the hands-on aspect of the role, the individual will learn to embrace a few strengths. The first is to make themselves available at multiple sites within their base city and major cities in the neighbourhood. The benefit of this is being able to interact with and learn from clinicians who are considered key opinion leaders in their domains and gain hands-on experience of what the real-world patient journey looks like for clinicians.
This insight will empower them to map this patient journey and provide solutions to diagnose diseases that are not only difficult to diagnose but also equally difficult to treat. Your hard work will be rewarded by being the one who can offer insights into not just the appropriate diagnosis of debilitating diseases like Gastroparesis but also suggest whether the possible cure would be achievable from a therapeutic or surgical intervention.
The second pillar of this profile relies on clinical analysis of the real-world data, which refers to data collected from actual patient interactions and not from controlled clinical trials generated at multiple sites. The strength to be embraced from this aspect is working with the end goal in mind. Awareness that each enrolled patient will represent a different clinical phenotype and each data point is crucial to the outcome's success. This real-world data in most clinical settings never gets to see the daylight due to the non-existent priorities of publishing real-world data. Disseminating evidence of possible interventions in clinical settings is something you will get to address with your published data and be the change agent.
The third pillar of this profile entails acquiring market intelligence. Our primary objective is to identify the unfulfilled need for better diagnostic tools pertinent to Indian disease epidemiology. The portfolio of GastroLab India facilitates a fundamental change in GI disease diagnostics. It unveils future disease implications beyond the GI tract. The candidate on this profile would be expected to contribute towards this cause.
A typical day for an intern in this role would involve conducting EGG studies at Apollo Hospital on Monday and discussing the report outcomes with the gastroenterologists. On Tuesday, the studies may take place at Fortis Hospital, and on Wednesday, the intern may travel to a neighbouring city to present the scientific deck to an eminent gastroenterologist at a premier centre of excellence.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Technology Demonstration:
- Showcase the clinical utility of innovative diagnostic technologies to gastroenterologists.
- Disseminate knowledge about complex technologies, fostering understanding among clinicians.
2. Electrogastrography (EGG) Studies:
- Perform EGG studies on enrolled patients across selected Gastrointestinal (GI) centres of excellence.
- Interact with patients and clinicians to discuss EGG study outcomes.
3. Market Intelligence:
- Research the personas and areas of interest of practising gastroenterologists.
- Refine segmentation and implement strategies for high-potential users.
4. Regional reach:
- Engage with key opinion leaders in gastroenterology across various cities.
- Build insights into real-world patient journeys, facilitating clinical relevance of diagnostic assays.
- Contribute to collaborative projects impacting patient care on a national scale.
