Abhishek Attri

Biomedical science graduate (MSc, Abertay University) with UK diagnostic laboratory experience at The Doctors Laboratory (TDL) and current NHS Scotland clinical research experience. Supported daily operations across Microbiology, Haematology and Clinical Biochemistry within a high-throughput, UKAS-accredited private diagnostic laboratory, and trained across nine diagnostic disciplines during a structured PGIMER hospital laboratory placement, with independent molecular research experience in mammalian cell culture and RT-qPCR gene-expression analysis. Completed UK-based manufacturer analyser training across Abbott, Roche Cobas, Sysmex and Beckman Coulter platforms, covering routine operation, maintenance, calibration, QC monitoring and first-line troubleshooting.

Experienced across the full sample pathway — collection, accessioning, labelling, aliquoting, centrifugation, storage, cold-chain control, tracking and dispatch — working to GMP, GLP, GCP and SOP-controlled standards with Good Documentation Practice. Confident in laboratory data handling and analysis using LIMS/LIS, Excel, Bio-Rad CFX Manager and GraphPad Prism, and quick to learn new laboratory and production software. Applies UK information-governance, COSHH and biosafety standards in practice, with proven problem solving, time management and team working across NHS, private diagnostic and community care settings.

Right to work in the UK valid until September 2028. Seeking a laboratory technician, research technician, sample management or production role.

• Perform venepuncture and research specimen collection across mobile and temporary clinical research sites, working to study protocols and GCP standards.
• Own the pre-analytical pathway for collected samples: positive participant identification, specimen labelling, barcode application, order verification and documentation prior to dispatch.
• Protect sample integrity by applying protocol-specified handling, centrifugation, storage, stability and transport conditions, dispatching specimens to designated laboratory hubs within defined stability windows.
• Maintain chain-of-custody and specimen documentation to preserve full traceability from collection to laboratory receipt.
• Manage sample inventory, batching, cold-chain packing and dispatch documentation, coordinating handover to transport and laboratory hubs.
• Record participant and specimen data in electronic research records and Excel-based tracking logs, maintaining accuracy, completeness and GDPR compliance.
• Plan and manage own daily workload and multi-site route, prioritising appointments, processing and dispatch to meet protocol timeframes and sample stability limits.
• Resolve collection and documentation issues at source — labelling discrepancies, insufficient volume, incomplete paperwork — escalating promptly to avoid repeat participant visits.
• Work within a multidisciplinary NHS research team alongside research nurses, laboratory staff and study coordinators to maintain specimen flow across concurrent studies.
• Support participant registration and informed-consent documentation, handling research data in line with GDPR, Caldicott principles and information-governance policy.
• Recognise and escalate unsuitable specimens against acceptance criteria, reducing avoidable rejection at the receiving laboratory.
• Apply infection-prevention, PPE, sharps-safety and biological-spillage procedures when handling blood and biological fluids.

Supported daily operations across Microbiology, Haematology and Clinical Biochemistry within a high-throughput, UKAS-accredited private diagnostic laboratory.

• Performed specimen reception, accessioning, labelling, centrifugation, aliquoting and preparation of blood, urine, swab and sputum samples to SOPs, ensuring correct identification, traceability and documentation.
• Assisted microbiology workflows including culture setup, Gram staining, plate-reading support, organism-identification preparation and contamination control.
• Supported haematology operations by preparing blood films, loading analysers, monitoring QC runs and escalating abnormal results to biomedical scientists.
• Prepared samples for biochemistry analysers, carried out reagent checks and maintained equipment logs.
• Maintained cold-chain storage, monitored sample stability windows and ensured timely dispatch to specialist testing departments.
• Used LIMS/LIS for data entry, sample tracking, result verification and workflow documentation, following GMP, GDP, COSHH, biosafety and infection-control procedures to meet turnaround targets.
