OGT achieved this certification in November 2015. I also maintain the roles of H&S Advisor, Biological Safety Officer, and HTA Co-ordinator and I am a BSI trained internal auditor. Show less

The Southern Centre, Oxford, Uk

My roles included management of the protein array content generation team to support the launch of v3.0 and v3.1 of the OGT proprietary functional protein array. I also managed a genomic biomarker development project for the early detection of colorectal cancer from blood or stool samples. This was achieved via the analysis of methylation patterns upstream of tumour suppressor genes by methylation-specific RT-PCR (MSP) following a nested pre-amplification step. I also held the roles of… Show more My roles included management of the protein array content generation team to support the launch of v3.0 and v3.1 of the OGT proprietary functional protein array.

Maidenhead

Sense Proteomic Ltd was a spin out from Procognia to commercialize the protein array technology.

Maidenhead, Uk

I worked in the content generation team and was responsible for the development of a suite of baculovirus expression vectors tailor-made for the expression of BCCP-tagged proteins for the company’s proprietary protein array technology. This followed on to the development of a semi-automated high throughput cloning and expression pipeline to generate content for manufacturing functional protein arrays. I was responsible for the generation of batches of up to 2000 recombinant proteins and… Show more I worked in the content generation team and was responsible for the development of a suite of baculovirus expression vectors tailor-made for the expression of BCCP-tagged proteins for the company’s proprietary protein array technology.
