I set up the lab and was responsible for keeping it running. I designed the laboratory lay out and coordinated the lab build out with the relevant contractors. Researched,ordered and installed all major laboratory equipment (capital equipment like Biosaftey cabinets, autoclave etc..). Covered ordering and inventory management for consumables and other raw.

For my thesis, I documented immunogenetic profiles of bottlenecked populations of Rainwtare killifish. The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class II exon 2 was used to assess functional supertypes across several population. This was carried out by inferring binding properties of alleles using physiochemical properties of codons under positive.
