- Assisted the enhancement of experimental output by 50% through the preparation of supplements, media, endothelial & epithelial cells, and bioreactor chambers.- Effective sterile-handling and cannulating of 15 decellularized lung scaffolds for experimental runs in a GLP lab environment. - Interpreted in-process metabolites, gases, and pH for proactive in-process alterations to culture feeding strategy.- Monitored and identified experimental contamination via endotoxin and beta-glucan analysis and plate streaking. - Performed end-process formalin inflation fixing, tissue sampling, and brightfield and fluorescent imaging of recell lung tissue.

- Customer-driven interactions, service, and communications.

- Researched the pediatric relevance of hydrocephalus to develop secondary therapeutics for an in vivo model.- Cut and stained 200+ paraffin-embedded feline brain tissue with the use of a microtome to produce tissue slides. - Developed, optimized, and utilized staining protocols for H&E, TUNEL, GFAP, and Luxol Fast Blue.

- Worked directly with UAB Hospital's Office of Interprofessional Simulation to develop a Central Venous Line Simulator.- Molded flesh-like platinum catalyzed silicone rubber, Ecoflex®, over latex tubing to simulate human tissue and CVL.- Developed stable 3D-printed prototypes with CAD software to prevent catheter guide wire bending. - Increased usage lifespan of simulator device by 25% more than the original product.
