Developed XCR(tm) technology. Research in protein engineering, mutation evaluation, and the relationship between enzyme structural modification and kinetic parameters.Research in quantitative real-time PCR, specifically in the implementation of dual color HybProbe based absolute and relative quantitification of real and artificial templates. Involved on the color compensation development team while completing the transfer of the LightCycler technology to Roche Applied Science from Idaho Technology.Developed the purification techniques for the purification of Roche HybProbe chemistries while serving as the founding director of IT BioChem.Identified novel chemical modifications of oligonucleotides which resulted in the invention of the Roche SimpleProbe Chemistry.Design and optimize any realtime PCR application, particularly those more difficult multiplex assays.Specialties: Scientific market evaluationComplex diagnostic test designXCR(tm) assay developmentReal-time PCR assay developmentGC/MS test development
