Describe your experience and knowledge in the area of blood manufacturing.

"I was impressed by the quantity and diversity of the Red Cross's biomedical services, particularly its work with blood and diagnostic testing since that is my primary area of expertise. I have spent the past six years developing reagents for use in blood diagnostics, and I have advanced knowledge of proper handling, testing, and storing of blood units. Any work I do in a lab is carefully informed by the FDA's Quality System Regulations for Medical Devices, and I always keep myself up-to-date on best biomanufacturing practices and technology."

"As a lab technician, I was excited to read about the Red Cross's selection of blood products, particularly in terms of quality control and enhancement solutions. Quality control kits and enhancements like PEG and LISS are essential in maintaining rigorous safety, storage, and testing standards. Since quality control has comprised the majority of my lab work experience, I believe can quickly and easily adapt to the procedures and policies outlined by the labs at the Red Cross."
