Juturu Veeresh

I am a research scientist working on the development of molecular biology kits and their validation. During the validation process i test the kit and help in completing the documentations involved in the CE marking and ISO 13485.

I am actively involved in writing the project proposals, reports, scientific papers and power point presentations.
