-Downstream process science lead and downstream tech transfer lead for mAb process, leading process characterization and MSAT experiments. S-Provided PiP support at commercial manufacturing for PPQ-Managed a three-month intern project investigating product quality abnormalities-Supported establishment of a pilot-scale continuous manufacturing lab for mAb purification processes.

Biologics Process Development and Characterization. Monoclonal antibody purification and drug substance formulation.

Lancaster, Pa, Us

Participated in process development and characterization for monoclonal antibody purification. Performed Protein A and ion exchange chromatography, at laboratory-scale.

Ithaca, Ny, Us

Researched and developed a drug delivery device for the delivery of chemotherapy to pediatric brain tumor patients, in conjunction with Weill Cornell Medical Center Neurology Department. Expected to create an implantable drug port to interface with existing catheter technology for convection-enhanced chemotherapy delivery to treat nonresectable brain tumors, to minimize the amount of time each patient experiences in the operating room.

Performed synthesis and characterization of pH-sensitive diblock polymer nanoparticles for controlled delivery of antibiotics to disrupt biofilm formation. Designed syntheses and quantification methods of triblock polymer nanoparticles for crosslinking via polymer analogous reactions. Instructed new lab members in synthesis protocols, organic chemistry techniques, spectroscopy, and lab safety protocols.

Rochester, Ny, Us

Developed a touch sensor array for use in the Purified Protein Derivative Test for tuberculosis diagnosis by quantifying skin induration size after administration of the test. Created physical sensor array and accompanying software for prototype device.

Performed and analyzed large scale synthesis of (–)-Nakadomarin A for second-generation total organic synthesis using enantio-selective and diasterio-selective reactions.

Administered health motivation interviews to patients and compiled data for the evaluation of tobacco dependence and lipid reduction programs to analyze the effects of self-efficacy on treatment

Carried out experiments to investigate the etiology of fertility disease using mouse models from the perspective of circadian rhythms. Collected cell samples, cared for live mouse subjects, and analyzed cycling of cells in estrus cycle to determine genetic and hormonal influences on ovarian health.
