Developing a novel point of care rapid diagnostic for Covid19 and Influenza A & B using recombinant DNA technology.Expressed novel BioSwitches in CHO cells and subsequently, performed tangential flow filtration and purified them using affinity chromatography. Designed the standard operating procedures (SOP) to express the BioSwitch in bacterial cultures and carried out the experiments. Developed excellent verbal and written communication skills by designing research projects for final year students (12 weeks) and teaching them the skills required to reach project goals within the deadline. Worked as part of a dynamic team, including the Murphy group in the School of Medicine, and the McKernan group in the School of Physis and our Funders Revlar to achieve project goals and to assess our progress. Gained project management experience using Mind Manager to coordinate, plan, monitor and asses the project achievements and goals both within the team and with collaborators.
