• Performed analytical procedures in support of large molecule drug development to quantify large molecules and their immune response (ELISA, ECL, DNA extraction and tissue homogenization experiments)• Ensured the proper performance and documentation of all procedures, materials, and results in compliance with the company’s regulatory standards (analytical procedures, standard operating procedures, etc.) and according to the OECD principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) to ensure the generation of reliable test data• Assisted in data review and quality control activities for the conservation of audit trails and all relevant databases thus allowing the proper communication of research findings with clients in the fast-paced and highly regulated biopharmaceutical industry

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

• Performed general lab duties in service of research involving dopaminergic and GABAergic populations of neurons in the vertebrate forebrain as well as neuronal cell death as a model for Parkinson’s disease using the model species Danio rerio (zebrafish)• Supported Honours, Master’s, and PhD students as well postdoctoral fellows in the lab through the coordination of experiments relevant to their respective projects such as the identification of various mutant genes (PCR/Gel Electrophoresis experiments) and zebrafish breeding/shoal maintenance• Participated in group discussions and meetings on recent advancements in the research and its relevance to public engagement and/or welfare

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

• Conducted research to determine the function of glycosylation in influenza vaccine potency and product consistency for the development of vaccines with increased efficiencies• Executed experiments in support of influenza vaccine development such as the separation of antigenic material in vaccine preparations (RP-HPLC and CE-LIF experiments) for the elucidation of their biochemical structure and relevant binding efficacies with human cells• Collaborated with laboratory personnel to outline and execute experiments that served the project objectives and produced an end-of-term report detailing the preliminary project results as well as recommendations for future experimentation

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

• Oversaw digital community engagement for a number of media and broadcast outlets across Canada and the United States including the CBC and Advance Publications• Ensured quality control and compliance with clients’ regulatory and editorial guidelines by analysing and managing conversations in real-time• Liaised with peers in order to ensure the consistent monitoring of virtual communications

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

• Investigated pea germplasm genetic diversity based on morphological traits and genetic markers • Planted and maintained +1300 pea plants while also coordinating various experimental procedures for the identification of genetic variants (PCR/Gel Electrophoresis, DNA extraction and quantification, and Sanger sequencing experiments) contributing to starch production in peas and their association with morphological characteristics such as germination and flowering times • Conducted extensive research in the literature thus perfecting the experimental methods applied in lab to strengthen our research in tandem with the present social and economic demand for more efficient agricultural practices on a global scale
