• Identified potassium channels crucial for maintaining myogenesis in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) by applying electrophysiological, molecular biology and imaging techniques. • Successfully completed testing potency and selectivity of Dalazatide (formerly ShK-186) for clinical trial phase 1b (Kineta Inc). • Devised a new protocol to demonstrate botulinum toxin A mediated pore formation and inhibition by antibodies in neuro 2a cells • Characterized functional glioma big potassium channels in small cell lung cancer cells.

Peritoneal Dialysis R&D • Designed and performed wet chemistry experiments such as conductivity, titration (manual and robotic), calibration/standardization, etc • Prepared small to large scale dialysate solution following Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines for engineering and chemistry tests during new product development.• Programmed conductivity calculator for a new dialysate product and ran volume and tolerance simulation for the new dialysate.
