Throughout my undergraduate studies at the University of Rochester, I developed a love for science and research.My PhD research involved identifying the interaction between the pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7 and a non-pathogenic E. coli strain. Through co-incubation, higher levels of Shiga toxin are produced than the pathogenic bacterium alone. Ultimately, this phenomenon could help us understand why some patients develop worse disease symptoms than others.Currently, as a curation scientist, I combine the research, data wrangling and communication skills that I learned throughout my PhD. I am technical lead on various projects with pharmaceutical companies and non-profit foundations. The projects vary, but include clinical trial reports, harmonization and standardization of metadata, support for data management systems, and genetic target reports.
Listed skills include Research, Powerpoint, Microbiology, Microsoft Office, and 14 others.
