- Carried out multiple cloning techniques such as PCR, gel extraction, sequencing, and bacterial cell culture to create retroviral plasmids.- Culturing and differentiation of primary murine splenocytes for the generation of memory-like T cells for use in adoptive cell transfer.- Independent planning and execution of 50+experiments for testing biological mechanisms of key targets to generate data and information for thesis.- Transduced murine T cells under multiple culture conditions to determine the optimal variables for creation of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells and transduced T cell receptor (TCRT) cells for potential use in future preclinical and clinical studies.- Conducted flow cytometry for identification of multiple cell markers to determine protein expression and receptor expression as well as using flowcytometry for killing assays and proliferation assays to determine functionality of transduced T cells.- Handling of mice during in vivo experiments including techniques such as retro-orbital bleeding, intravenous injections, and intradermal injections.- Recipient of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) for Master’s programs award for the school year of 2019-2020.- Awarded a McMaster Medical Science entrance scholarship.

- Led and taught 4 tutorial sections covering multiple immunology concepts for the courses HLTHSCI 3I03 (Introduction to immunology) and HLTHSCI 4II3(Advanced topics in immunology).- Designed and evaluated multiple assessments for class including midterm tests, final assignments, and final exams for 300 students.- Marked hundreds of assignments during each tenure.

- Connected with and maintained relations with hundreds of current graduate students and alumni for the McMaster Graduate Political Sciences department.- Designed and populated the monthly newsletter for the department.- Enhanced the McMaster University political sciences website to assist in clarity and recruitment of potential graduate students.

- Completed highly sensitive lab work that required excellent patience and care including mammalian cell culture and polymer creation.- Researched academic literature to determine potential chemical based polymers for usage as a cryoprotectant based on their charge to better understand mechanisms of cryoprotection.- Provided assistance in a variety of different types of lab work including purification of polymer, sample preparation and microscopy.

- Organized and conducted 4 different research projects simultaneously.- Responsibility for the communication with 4 other lab groups to ensure the projects ran smoothly and in a timely manner.- Application of knowledge in chemistry and biology to help in projects such as creation of an biofilm resistant dissolved oxygen sensor and extremely hydrophobic surfaces to prevent attachment of unspecifc molecules.

• Provided customer service with excellent communication and product knowledge to assist up to 50 customers a day over the course of the summer• Achieved customer recognition through customer service by more than 5 customers for going beyond expectations• Through taking initiative was able to ensure adequate stock levels from all inventory for over 50 styles of shoes

• Photographed guests at a booth independently while managing the rest of the booth and meeting the daily goals from the Managers• Organized mainly children for photographs for over 30 guests daily over the summer• Kept a clean work environment consistently which kept guests and upper management happy
