• Investigate test results (e.g., bacterial, nutritional) and prepare reports for all products to ensure alignment with AFFCO regulations and company standards.• Prepare and analyze graphs, charts, and reports based on test results to allow for meticulous monitoring and tracking of nutritional values, thereby ensuring product consistency throughout production.• Develop final product specification reports to encompass all information regarding new products released.• Liaison with suppliers, manufacturers, and consultants to provide required documentation and manage product quality assurance workflow. • Collaborate with the marketing team to review and critique validity of nutritional claims on current and future product packaging. • Effectively liaise with cross-functional teams, including R&D, operations, and innovation, to provide seamless updates on project progress and foster productive collaboration for successful outcomes.• Participate in the planning and logistics of developing a new innovative mock product to learn more about the product development process.

Life Science Building, Dr. Donaldson Lab

Research analyzed protein interactions to assist in drug development to treat cancers and neuronal disorders.• Transformed protein DNA sequence into competent E. coli cells which can be expressed and purified.• Synthesized, expressed, and quantified milligram quantities of proteins to investigate binding interactions using techniques such as fluorescence anisotropy, GST pulldown assays, and isothermal titration calorimetry.• Used GST pulldown assays, SDS-PAGE gels, and western blots to verify the binding of proteins.• Purified quantities of proteins using nickel column chromatography.• Quantified the polarization of protein interactions to analyze protein binding.• Collaborated with professor and research students to resolve research obstacles and provide lab workflow updates.
