In the pursuit of graduate school, I have undergone various research internships at several universities ( University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, St.Mary's University, and University of Georgia) where I have developed a wide array of technical research skills such as immunological based assays, cell culture and gene cloning.

- Maintained and optimized cell cultures to support experimental procedures.- Engineered novel cell lines through various transfection methods, including lipofection, electroporation, and the FLP-IN system, to establish stable and transient cell lines expressing the RSV receptor (CX3CR1).- Applied a range of laboratory techniques, including viral propagation, molecular cloning, cell culture systems, and immunological assays (ELISA and FACS analysis), to advance research objectives.- Recorded, managed, and organized research data, ensuring accuracy and accessibility for ongoing studies.

-Gained proficiency in mammalian cell culture techniques, ensuring the successful cultivation and maintenance of cell lines.-Performed SNP genotyping through qPCR analysis, utilizing samples from the U.S. Military Natural History Study cohort to contribute to genetic research.-Developed skills in qRT-PCR, SNP genotyping, and precise cell counting, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of experimental outcomes.
