- Manage daily laboratory efforts necessary to meet internal deadlines, ensure data quality, and quickly turn around customer data reports.- Schedule customer projects to increase efficiencies in the compound management and screening laboratories.- Facilitate communication between shifts, teams, and supervisors to ensure all resource, training, scientific, and scheduling concerns are met.

- High throughput screening of biochemical kinase assays and library screening.- Responsible for preventive maintenance, usage metrics, and validation of all laboratory automation.- Analysis of assay data and generation of customer reports. - Maintain laboratory inventory.

Selective isolation of environmental bacterial isolates, classical and molecular strain identification, and fermentation of various microorganisms.Compound screening against a wide variety of pathogenic microorganisms using several different bio-activity assays.Mammalian cell culture and performance of cytoxicity assays.

Physiological characterization of Antarctic Shewanella isolates.

I performed the GenoType® MTBDRplus assay from Hain Lifescience prior to product launch to validate the assay against clinical MTBDR strains. I also contributed in maintenance of European multiple drug resistance data base.
