• Maintain a working base at or near our Naperville, IL laboratory to meet on-site presence requirements, with periodic travel to satisfy Pennsylvania and other state requirements.

• Engage with clients and prospective partners, and work closely with Diagnexia's broader clinical and executive leadership, including regular engagement with the CMO.
• Represent Diagnexia at pathology conferences and company events, with occasional travel to Ireland and the UK to connect with our wider clinical teams (reasonable expenses reimbursed).
• Participate in laboratory permit applications, state inspections, and accreditation activity as Diagnexia expands into new jurisdictions.
