West Kingston, Ri, Us

Co-chair of the 2023 Gordon Research Conference on Synthetic Biologyhttps://www.grc.org/synthetic-biology-conference/2023/

Research biologist with specialties in microbiology, yeast genetics, yeast cell biology, molecular biology and synthetic biology/genetic engineering with a focus on genetic engineering of metabolic pathways. My group constructed yeast host strains with recombinant, heterologous bacterial and eukaryotic genes as well as deregulated native yeast genes to drive the consumption of seaweed-derived sugars for growth and ethanol production. We used molecular biology and yeast genetic techniques to construct integrated host strains and plasmid-based DNA constructs for enzyme activity testing.I supervised full-time research associates and managed project planning and execution within my group while collaborating and coordinating with other research groups in the company.

Durham, North Carolina, Us

Senior contract editor for American Journal Experts, an English-language professional editing service. Revising academic and other professional manuscripts with an advanced understanding of content and purpose. I provided detailed English language-related feedback and limited content feedback to international authors. I also provided basic evaluations of the editing work of junior editors.I revised 700+ documents (research manuscripts, author responses to reviewers, grant applications, doctoral and master's theses, webpages) with varying levels of difficulty.

I taught Biol 34 - Applied Molecular Genetics - in the Biotechnology Department of Berkeley City College. The sections consisted of 18-20 upper-level students in the Biotechnology program. I planned, instructed and supervised laboratory sessions with a focus on learning and executing fundamental and state-of-the-art biological techniques. I wrote test questions for midterm and final exams and graded exam questions. I also evaluated student performance to help determine final grades.

Berkeley, Ca, Us

Instructor for MCB 110L, the Molecular Biology and Biochemistry laboratory course at UC Berkeley.I performed test runs of experiments prior to the start of the semester and instructed teaching assistants in specific biological techniques.I supervised a group of 18-20 students during laboratory sessions, performed experimental demonstrations and served as a resource for questions and troubleshooting during experimental protocols.I revised and improved laboratory report course materials.

Berkeley, Ca, Us

I worked in Georjana Barnes' lab at UC Berkeley as an academic research scientist. I revised and resubmitted a manuscript on the role of the FEAR network protein Slk19 in anaphase progression.Specialties: yeast cell biology, classical genetics, genetic engineering, molecular biology, biochemistry, protein expression and purification, immunoprecipitation, western blot, live cell fluorescence microscopy.

Berkeley, Ca, Us

Doctoral dissertation on mitotic processes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Georjana Barnes' lab. I studied a number of proteins that are critical for anaphase progression during mitosis in budding yeast. I expanded the known protein-protein interaction network during mitosis and discovered a novel mechanism of regulation of anaphase progression through the control of Cdc14 phosphatase localization.Specialties: yeast cell biology, classical genetics, genetic engineering, molecular biology, biochemistry, protein expression and purification, immunoprecipitation, western blot, live cell fluorescence microscopy.

Berkeley, Ca, Us

I worked as a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) for MCB140L, the Advanced Genetics Laboratory course. I led laboratory sessions, helped students to develop experimental plans and techniques, revised and graded laboratory reports and helped to determine students' final grades.

Cambridge, Ma, Us

I worked as a research laboratory technician in Jacqueline Lees' lab in the Biology department at MIT. I performed research in mouse cell cycle dynamics in collaboration with graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and research scientists. My work resulted in two peer-reviewed publications.Specialties: murine genetics, murine cell biology, murine husbandry, mammalian cell culture, molecular biology, biochemistry, western blot.

Buffalo, Ny, Us

I worked as an undergraduate research intern in the Crystal Growth laboratory. I optimized protein crystal growth conditions and aided in the automation of protein crystal visual identification systems. I also mentored a high school student in the Crystal Growth lab and advised her on a protein crystallization research project.Specialties: high-throughput protein crystallization screens.
