CBRNE Defense/Threat AssessmentTrace Analytical Chemist - Proteomics

Fullerton, Ca

• Part-time Faculty Lecturer at the California State University in Fullerton. My primary responsibilities were to instruct undergraduate general Chemistry lecture and laboratory courses.

Riverside, Ca

• Research: At the University of California at Riverside, I served as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Yinsheng Wang in the Department of Chemistry and was part of the Environmental Toxicology Training Program from August 2010 - October 2013. Briefly, my research was focused on using Mass Spectrometry and liquid chromatography (LC-MS) coupled with SILAC (stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture) based quantitative proteomic approach to assess the effects of tobacco specific N’-nitrosamines and tobacco related heavy metals on protein expression levels in human cell lines.

Missoula, Montana Area

• Research: Worked as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Charles Thompson at The University of Montana in the Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical sciences. Briefly, I utilized Mass Spectrometry based quantitative proteomics to elucidate and analyze organophosphate protein targets in human cell lines and other complex protein samples (saliva, blood, etc.). Using custom made organophosphate reporters (fluorophores, radiolabels, and FP-biotin) and mass spectrometry we were able to identify proteins targeted by organophosphates and locate the exact amino acid residue modified by the organophosphate.

Palo Alto, Ca

• Responsibilities: Primary responsibilities were to conduct well-defined in-vitro and in-vivo preclinical studies, which required a firm understanding of the standard skills of bio-analytical chemistry, drug metabolism, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics. In order to perform primary responsibilities, it was necessary to be proficient with bio-analytical techniques, pharmacokinetic studies, cell culture, microsome preparation, microsome stability assays, ADME studies, and enzyme induction assays. The results from these studies were used to support optimization and selection of new chemical entities as clinical candidates and to support FDA regulatory filings. In addition, I performed manual and robotic processing of biological samples for the rapid quantification of drugs and metabolites using established and newly developed LC-UV, LC-MS and LC-MS/MS methods. Experimental results were processed using Microsoft Excel and LIMS software. Further, I was required to maintain accurate and orderly documentation of results in compliance with standard operating procedures and GLP regulatory guidelines, and participate in the preparation of final reports.

Redding, California Area

• Responsibilities: Primary responsibilities were to analyze soil and water extracts for semi-volatile organic compounds using gas chromatograpy and mass spectrometry (GC/MS) following EPA methods 8270/625. In addition, I was responsible for maintaining and operating three GC/MS instruments, processing data, reviewing client data packages, and generating reports using Target software.
