Cosma is building a non-hormonal, CDSCO-approved fertility support device, developed at IIT Bombay, for couples who sit between “keep waiting” and IVF. The science is ours. What decides whether doctors trust us is the quality of our evidence.

This role has three jobs. Research: biotechnology and nanotechnology work, publications, and the institutes we partner with. Recent product development: taking Cosma’s next products from idea to prototype to evidence. Clinical: owning trial data, visiting trial sites and giving clinical updates. You always know where each project and trial stands, and you tell the founder before she has to ask.

How level works: PhD holders lead projects, own the trial data and manage the clinical field team on the data side. Master’s-level associates run trackers, data checks, follow-ups and visits, and grow into the lead role.

1. RESEARCH AND R&D;

- Visit research institutes, universities and laboratories in person. Build the relationships, agree scopes, MoUs and timelines, review progress on site, and keep every collaboration moving with named owners and dates.
- Source and meet scientists, PhD scholars and postdocs at these institutes, both as collaborators and as future hires.
- Support projects in drug development, biotechnology, nanotechnology and reproductive health.
- Prepare and deliver scientific presentations, reports and project updates to the internal team, doctors and external stakeholders.
- Contribute to manuscripts, publications and technical documentation.
- Maintain accurate research records and project documentation, always ready to be shown to a regulator, a partner or an investor.
- Be our biotech and nanotech expert. You are the scientific voice on the nano-engineered technology behind FertiGen, in the lab,



with partners and with doctors.

2. NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

- Scout and shape new products in fertility and reproductive health: review the science, the gaps doctors and patients describe, and the technology options with our institute partners.
- Run each new product as a project: concept note, feasibility, prototype, lab or pilot validation, regulatory pathway (CDSCO), with milestones, owners and a budget.
- Work with external labs, formulators and manufacturers on prototypes and testing; keep specifications, test reports and vendor records in order.
- Prepare product dossiers and evidence summaries that the team, doctors and regulators can use. File patents and publications where the work deserves it.
- Present progress and decisions to the founder monthly: what is working, what it costs and what to drop.

3. CLINICAL TRIALS AND DATA (THE MANAGER PART)The Research Associate is accountable for the trial data across every site.

- Own the trial data end to end. Case report forms, enrolment logs, consent records, follow-up data. Nothing lives only on a phone or in someone’s head.
- Track enrolment site by site. GTB, private hospitals and sites routed through an Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC): protocol, approvals, enrolment started, patients enrolled, patients due for follow-up.
- Close follow-up loops fast.



Data for previously enrolled patients is chased and updated within 1 to 2 working days of it being due.
- Prepare and track protocol and IEC paperwork. Draft, version-control and submit documents; keep the founder briefed on what is pending and what is approved.
- Manage the clinical field team on the data side. Clinical research coordinators, nurses and MRs deployed to trial sites report data to you. You set the format, check quality and flag gaps the same day.
- Visit hospitals and trial sites regularly. Go to GTB, private hospitals and partner clinics in person: meet doctors and coordinators, check records on the ground, and explain the science to clinicians when they ask.
- Give clinical updates. A short factual update to the founder after every site visit and a standing weekly clinical update: what you saw, what is moving, what is blocked.
- Supervise camps and outreach data. Camps at facilities, ashram areas and NGOs: registrations, screening and referral data captured properly.

YOU ARE RIGHT FOR THIS IF

- You hold a PhD or a Master’s in Biotechnology or Nanotechnology with real hands-on research experience.
- You write clearly.

Reports, protocols and one-page updates are things you produce, not delegate.

- You are comfortable with data: structured datasets, spreadsheets, a data capture tool or database, basic statistics.
- You can present to doctors and to a founder with equal clarity, and you are happy to visit institutes, hospitals and trial sites in person.
- You have taken something from idea to prototype or pilot, even in a lab, and can run a project with milestones.

Advantages: a PhD; fertility or reproductive biology exposure; drug development experience; clinical trial or GCP training; publications, patents or conference presentations.
