-Supported characterization of compound and biologic activity in Parkinsonian mouse models.-Executed ELISA-based assays to determine levels of pSer129 synuclein in biological tissues.-Led target identification efforts including literature review and analytical presentations.

-Controlled and directed mouse trainings for the purpose of discrimination tasks for functional in-vivo imaging of the mouse visual cortex.-Prepared brain tissues for confocal imaging using multiple staining and slicing methods.-Operated the confocal microscope to identify retrogradely labeled cells to determine inputs to high visual areas in the mouse visual cortex.

-Assisted project scientist in HPLC method development, sample analysis and dissolution of drug product using USP Type IV.-Independently performed analytical sample preparation, and studied data integration and interpretation.-Operated instruments like HPLC (Chemstation), rheometer, microscope, pH meter, osmometer, and lyophilizer (Labconco Tray Dryer).Learned to develop gel formulations for injectable drug product and perform analysis by viscosity and rheology.-Conducted drug product manufacturing engineering run to optimize process parameters.Authored detailed, technical, and scientific documents such as batch records, reports and SOPs.

-Used FTIR spectroscopy to aid in understanding bio-compatible electrospun and electroblown scaffolds.-Manipulated and interpreted spectral data using analytics programs to identify processed material.-Designed and presented an academic poster to students and senior faculty.
