As an accomplished scientist, I hold a Master of Science degree in Aquatic Toxicology (Purdue University), with a focus on understanding the impact of multiple environmental stressors on oil spill toxicity in Gulf Killifish. My research findings have been published in multiple scientific journals.Furthermore, I have made significant contributions to the field of molecular biology during my time at the University of Oregon. I conducted research utilizing Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) to isolate specific cell populations of neuronal cells and performed RNA-seq analysis on those cells. This work has been recognized and published (BMC Genomics, 2022), highlighting my proficiency in employing advanced molecular biology techniques. Additionally, I have explored the effects of the microbiome on Zebrafish social behavior and brain development, further expanding my understanding of the intricate relationship between the microbiome and complex behaviors in model organisms.In my previous role at EnviralTech, I played a pivotal part in designing multi-plex qPCR assays for the detection of COVID-19, Influenza A/B, and Norovirus on various surfaces. This experience allowed me to contribute to public health initiatives and demonstrate my proficiency in molecular methodolgies.Currently, at Thermo Fisher Scientific, I have been contributing to enhancing and expanding our IHC slide staining capabilities for spatial biology studies in human tissues, enabling breakthroughs in understanding complex biological processes. Previously, I was actively involved in the development of cutting-edge NovaFluor dyes for immunophenotyping applications. Leveraging my expertise in flow cytometry, I have successfully applied spectral and traditional flow cytometry techniques to a diverse range of research projects. Additionally, I have played a vital role in enhancing the capabilities of the Qubit platform by creating application notes specifically for the new Endotoxin assay. Driven by my passion for aquatic toxicology, molecular biology, and immunophenotyping, I am committed to advancing scientific knowledge and making a positive impact in the field. With a strong foundation in research and a deep understanding of cellular analysis techniques, I am dedicated to driving innovation and contributing to scientific breakthroughs.Let's connect and explore opportunities to collaborate on cutting-edge research projects and drive scientific progress.
