Why does anything work in life? Because it's magic? No, because it's SCIENCE!Molecular biology is my passion, and I am person driven to gain more knowledge and continuously develop my skills. I love research and I am especially interested in work that will benefit society as a whole. I am a fast learner and flourish both as an individual and as a team member. I organise and coordinate tasks well within my team, having good interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate clearly in spoken and written format. I am always valued by my colleagues for my integrity, positivity, dedication and reliability.As a motivated and enthusiastic person, I consistently execute tasks to a high standard. I am responsible and work well under pressure with good time management. I work with precision and keep accurate records. How a lab is managed is important, and I value the importance of traceability and accountability, following correct health and safety procedures, ensuring SOPs. COSHH forms and risk assessments are current, non-conformances are raised and assessed.I have worked under GLP and ISO 15189:2012.Laboratory techniques I have used include:> Aseptic technique in handling bacterial (E. coli), yeast (S. cerevisiae) and human nasopharyngeal swabs (COVID-19). > Transformation of DNA into E. coli, S. cerevisiae and arthropods.> Chromatin, genomic DNA, plasmid DNA, RNA and protein extractions. > DNA mutation by site-directed mutagenesis, restriction digests, DNA ligation, Gibson cloning.> in vitro transcription> Reverse transcription. > Standard PCR, quantitative real-time PCR, end-point PCR. > Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA and RNA. > SDS-PAGE, western blotting, Coomassie blue staining, Bradford assay. > Southern blotting. > Chromatin immuno-precipitation. > COVID-19 mass-sample processing: Tecan liquid-handling system, Kingfisher flex purification equipment, Multidrop reagent dispenser, ABI7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System, Nexar liquid handling system, Hydrocycler water-bath thermal cycler, Araya fluorescence detection system.
