• Create new assays and strategies to accurately and efficiently determine the performance of our products• Explore new parameters to optimize our products for the diverse applications used by our customers

Victoria, B.C.

• Explored the regulation and localization of Cav2.1 voltage gated calcium channels by the AnkB scaffolding protein and the potential impact on neuronal function and disease mechanism. • Employed the use of basic cell line systems as well as mouse models, capitalizing on my biochemistry expertise such as co-immunoproecipitation, cell surface biotinylation, and synaptosome preparation.

• Provided individualized estate and corporate solicitor legal work• Incorporated companies and maintained all filings to ensure good standing • Created custom estate plans to meet my clients' individual needs

Vancouver, Canada

• Investigated the role of TRAPP complexes in yeast and human cell line by expressing or inhibiting proteins to look at localization effects• Established new mammalian cell line protocols and policies in our yeast lab• Studied the interactions between Rabs, tethers, and coat proteins

Vancouver, Canada

• Designed and created mammalian vectors to express fluorescent tagged proteins • Conducted literature searches to discover various proteins that interact with SHIP and the potential biological function of SHIP• Examined histology slides of mouse tissues to determine the effects of SHIP agonists on mouse arthritis model

Burnaby, Canada

• Developed new assays to measure immune stimulation caused by siRNA drugs in in vivo and in vitro systems, by working with PBMC and mouse bone marrow. • Investigated the different properties of siRNA that leads to immune stimulation, and analyzed the modifications needed to lessen this effect• Examined the possible receptors involved in detecting foreign siRNA

Montreal, Canada

• Studied SXR and RXR receptor and its involvement in drug resistant development during chemotherapeutic treatment for cancer• Investigated protein-protein interaction between coregulators and SXR/RXR receptor using mammalian two hybrid system under different treatments• Examined protein-DNA interaction using a ChIP assay to discover a possible cause for up-regulation like histone modification

Vancouver, Canada

• Studied gene transfer from the mitochondria to the nucleus of poplar species • Used various bioinformatics technique to determine which genes may have been transferred to the nucleus• Ran single stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) gel to determine if there are expression differences between mitochondrial and nuclear copy
