- Established and performed genomics protocols for non-infectious and infectious disease studies- Managed and trained lab personnel on bench protocols, lab operation, supply ordering, and equipment maintenance

Westbrook, Maine, United States

- Piloted a new molecular diagnostic approach which improved the sensitivity of an existing assay and drove experimental development of an assay through a novel molecular amplification platform for a non-infectious disease- Scouted and evaluated biotech companies for innovative molecular diagnostic technologies

Combined droplet microfluidics with a tool developed by our lab called transposon insertion sequencing (Tn-Seq), which resulted in a first author publication at bioRxiv that describes the technique called droplet-Tn-Seq (dTn-Seq). With dTn-Seq we can now disentangle single-cell phenotypes, but also interactions between bacteria and or host cells and there.

Produced and defended a Master's Thesis in which I established microfluidic's technology for single-cell analysis to better understand how bacteria pathogens respond to antibiotics and other clinically relevant stresses.

Using a variety of cellular and molecular biology techniques to functionally validate population and family-based genetic studies of asthma and chronic obstructive disease (COPD).
