Evaluated antibody response to HIV infection, vaccination, and in vitro stimulation.Conducted large-scale memory B-cell isolation, single-cell culture, and high-throughput screening, including ELISA.Developed protocols, including Biomek procedures, and optimized immunological assays for mouse, rhesus, and human samples.Performed EBV immortalization and hybridoma generation.Produced and purified monoclonal antibodies on a small and large scale.Maintained cell lines and performed trouble-shooting for difficult cultures.Attended CHAVI conferences and collaborated with researchers from other institutions.

Designed and optimized assays to examine the properties of chemically modified siRNAs.Conducted analytical in vitro and in vivo experiments, including high-throughput qPCR screens, tissue processing, and novel biochemical assays.Performed Western blotting, worked on LC-MS and microarray profiling projects, and implemented robotics to improve screening mechanisms.Collaborated internationally to record and analyze data for multiple projects.Assisted in designing lab space, hiring, and development of lab processes.Presented data at meetings, including experimental findings and relevant journal articles.

Collaborated with post-doctoral researchers in a Drosophila genetics lab.Utilized gene cloning to produce constructs to perform RNA interference.Studied the effect of anthrax toxins on mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases.Produced and maintained transgenic Drosophila lines and characterized important phenotypes.Clarified and expanded on lecture material for multiple Biology department professors.Taught students independently and produced class materials for subjects including micro and macroevolution, speciation, quantitative genetics, and heredity in multiple organisms.
