Background

About Rachel McGroarty

I’m a Molecular & Clinical Laboratory Specialist with hands-on experience in PCR, ELISA, and mass spectrometry, working across clinical, molecular, and regulatory labs. I love combining precision with problem-solving — whether that’s running high-throughput testing, training colleagues, or developing better lab methods. At AFBI, I help protect public health and the environment by supporting 12+ research and diagnostic programs, ensuring ISO 17025 compliance, and improving workflows that cut turnaround times. Before that at Randox, I trained 50+ staff on advanced laboratory systems, built SOPs, and streamlined onboarding — reducing errors and making audits smoother than ever. What drives me? Advancing biomedical science through accuracy, innovation, and collaboration. I thrive in roles where I can blend technical expertise with teamwork to create measurable results in diagnostics and research. Always open to connecting with fellow scientists, innovators, and organisations working in molecular diagnostics, biomedical science, or lab training. Let’s collaborate and push science forward together!”
