· Developed, validated and optimized a high-throughput procedure for quantifying aldehydes in fermentation broths and cell lysates. · Prepared daily sample loads of up to 2000 sample per week for up to eight different high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC) methods. · Responsible for troubleshooting and maintenance on five HPLC and four GC instruments. · Streamlined the existing sample submission procedures and created a series of Excel documents to compile statistics to further improve data and sample handling.

· Examined differences in protein expression and physiological effects of silencing RNA or cancer drug treatments using Western blot, SDS-PAGE (electrophoresis), fluorescence, interference contrast and electron microscopy in live & fixed cells and purified protein. · Cryogenically preserved and maintained viable cultures of multiple human and mammalian cell lines using best-practice cell culture techniques. · Exploited natural characteristics to purify a mammalian protein for biochemical experiments. · Optimized conditions for tubulin experiments to decrease protein required by 10-fold. · Worked as a liaison between computer scientists and neurologists to create software for biological image analysis. · Wrote Excel macros for data analysis, trained colleagues to use image capture software and wrote a supplemental reference guide, thereby reducing data analysis time three-fold. · Delivered quarterly progress reports to 10+ lab group members using PowerPoint.

· Collaborated on agenda to affect changes resulting in uniform evaluation and more awards. · Consulted with fair board president on implementation of new online registration system and helped with on-site registration.Science Fair Judge and Mentor February to April 2007, 2008
