 I worked as a Flow Cytometry associate at The Center for Phenogenomics (TCP)/Canadian Mutant Mice Repository (CMMR). I was a member of an exciting research team contributing to the goals of an international consortium which aims at converting Embryonic Stem cells with targeted gene mutations into knockout mice for phenotyping and generating novel Cre driver mouse lines. My main responsibilities include:o Preparing and running 8 color panel BD LSRFortessa II for data acquisition from stained splenocytes.o Data analysis to identify immune cell populations to compare phenotype profile.o Writing report on study conclusion.o Inventory management
