Bio
Kirk Lum
I first worked with Kris at CHOC (Children's Hospital of Orange County) where we ran the SARS-CoV-2 molecular assay. He easily meshed with our team and his attention to detail, combined with his pleasant disposition stuck with me. When I had the opportunity to bring on a senior CLS supervisor at The Testing Company, I did not hesitate to reach out. Our time together was very smooth and he lifted up our laboratory in so many areas. Kris revamped our training process, adding GDP and standardizing all of our modules. He was able to handle direct reports, performance reviews, goal-setting and day-to-day support of our AM shift. Together we explored alternative instrumentation, performed validations, troubleshot variances in our workflow. I would whole-heartedly recommend Kris to any position he applies to and would not hesitate to work with him again in the future.
