Background

About Eric Pagan

With a strong foundation in biology and extensive hands-on experience in laboratory operations, I thrive in high-paced environments where precision, efficiency, and innovation drive results. As a Senior Laboratory Specialist at Sampled, I lead critical processes in DNA/RNA extraction, whole blood fractionation, and plasma isolation—ensuring accuracy and compliance with laboratory SOPs. My expertise includes leveraging StarLIMS and Labvantage to manage and process high-throughput patient samples, handling 800+ specimens daily while optimizing workflows for seamless execution. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I played a pivotal role in medical testing, demonstrating adaptability, problem-solving, and dedication to public health. My work on major projects such as Guardant Shield, UDX, and Natera has refined my skills in sample processing, automation, and quality control. Beyond the lab, I bring strong leadership, analytical thinking, and a detail-oriented approach to every challenge. Fluent in English and proficient in Spanish, I am passionate about leveraging science and technology to advance medical research and improve patient outcomes.
