Working on the development for molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for analytical extractions and subsequent analysis. Combine synthesis, flow chemistry, chromatography and mass spectrometry to continue new development in MIP technologies that selectively extract desired analyte(s) from a biological matrix with application in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Specifically, I directly developed two MIP devices and methods for mycophenolic acid (an immunosuppressant) and tyrosine kinase… Show more Working on the development for molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for analytical extractions and subsequent analysis. Combine synthesis, flow chemistry, chromatography and mass spectrometry to continue new development in MIP technologies that selectively extract desired analyte(s) from a biological matrix with application in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Specifically, I directly developed two MIP devices and methods for mycophenolic acid (an immunosuppressant) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (chemotherapeutic agents) in human plasma. I also contributed to several other MIP related projects and advancements in the group related to environmental monitoring and process development.I am also leading a collaborative project with the lab of Dr. Andrew Lang (microbiology), studying gene transfer agents (GTAs) that are produced by some bacteria. I have successfully applied my analytical expertise to develop a method for preparative monolithic HPLC purification of these particles for further study, in addition to developing molecular biology, cloning and protein work for expression of recombinant proteins. Finally, Dr. Lang and I were successful in obtaining an OFI seed fund grant to begin studying the degradation of crude oil and the subsequent production of terpenes using Rhodobacter. Show less

Co-Instructor for the chromatography course and lab combination. Responsible for the refinement and delivery of part of the lecture material, as well as development of the lab experiments along with Rejean Fortin. I prepared both the instruments and the reagents for use during the course, and provided weekly one-on-one training with small groups of students on specific instrumentation. 8 Lab experiments and two three-hour lectures were delivered during a 13 week period. 15 student enrolment
