Demonstrated expertise in running high throughput screening for in-vitro assays utilizing both 384-well and 96-well plates. These assays were instrumental in generating dose-response curves, enabling accurate assessment of the compounds' dose-dependent effects, and providing valuable insights into their potential efficacy on various plant, insect and fungus proteins.Conducted in-depth analysis of dose-response curves to determine essential IC50s (half-maximal inhibitory concentrations) for various inhibition components. This analysis yielded crucial data on the concentrations required to achieve specific levels of inhibition, contributing significantly to the understanding of the tested substances' inhibitory properties.Operated the OT2, an advanced automated liquid handling instrument, to prepare 384-well plates for conducting quantitative in-vitro bioassays.Generated and interpreted technical reports that included documented experimental results, meticulously reviewed data, presented findings, and compiled qualitative assessments of IC50 curves using in-vitro assay software and Excel.Pioneered the development of comprehensive safety, compliance, and regulatory S.O.Ps for various protocols within ENKO Laboratories. These S.O.Ps set rigorous guidelines for safety measures, ensured adherence to regulatory standards, and promoted best practices, thereby fostering a secure and compliant research environment for the team.Performed protein optimization and method development for in-vitro assays involving plant, fungal, and insect proteins. This included cross-titrations, buffer optimization, and substrate optimization.Conducted Affinity Selection-Mass Spectrometry (AS-MS) experiments to identify protein-compound interactions, screening potential binding compounds for target proteins. Utilized the KingFisher instrument for purification and mass spectrometry for precise identification of binding molecules.
