Emberlee Eleazar Gonzalez, BS, Staff Manager of Product Development, Applied BioCode
I have 25 years of work experience in the Molecular Dx Industry, of which 3 years were in a Molecular Reference Laboratoy and the remaining 22 years have been in molecular product development. I was the person solely involved in the early evaluation for the 3M Integrated Cycler (now LIAISON MDX) that led to Focus Dx (now DiaSorin Molecular) adopting it as the company's molecular platform. While at this company, I also led a team for the development of both the 510k cleared Simplexa VZV Swab Direct and Simplexa VZV Direct (for CSF) Kits as well as the Factor II, Factor V Leiden and MTHFR ASRs in which the user can detect WT/MUT alleles via whole blood direct detection. In my current position, I led a team on developing multiplex assays (through Feasibility) for the detection of biomarkers associated with non-small lung cancer cells, gave technical assistance (as needed) for the BioCode Fungal RUO kit and I am currently leading a team for the development of highly multiplex STI + AMR assay.
