Lex Grath, Ph.D. Email & Phone Number

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

Designed, implemented, and automated assays to characterize CAR-T cell therapeutics and viral vector drug products.

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Taught students the fundamentals of biomedical data acquisition and statistical analysis, as well as wet laboratory skills and concepts, including mammalian cell culture, mechanical testing, and designing devices for 3D printing.Assessed the students’ progress throughout the semester, and worked closely with other staff to efficiently plan and coordinate.

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Directly reprogrammed adult human fibroblasts into functional endothelial cells.Demonstrated these cells’ ability to mimic key endothelial functions such as tubule formation, protein expression, response to flow and inflammatory stimuli, and their ability to undergo vasculogenesis in vivo.

Troy, New York, United States

Developed and patterned polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogels to test the potency of multivalent signals.Learned 2D cell culture of several cell lines for uses in cell viability experiments.Analyzed reaction kinetics of various PEG chemistries using novel methods.

Franklin Lakes, NJ

Inspected and analyzed fixtures for metrology to ensure compliance to dimensional tolerances.Used SolidWorks to design new fixtures to test existing products.Prepared multiple presentations about my findings to various audiences including senior management.Trained in Instron Bluehill, Micro-Vu, syringes pumps, and experimental design.

Rockaway, NJ

Helped prototype three military projects with my manager: the CROWS-VIK, firearm suppressors, and 40mm grenades.Acquired extensive knowledge of different materials’ uses and properties.Optimized designs to minimize cost as well as identify flaws in designs.Heat treated and quenched 1040 carbon steel to give it the appropriate properties to function as a.
