Led the research and evaluation of 12+ companies with emergent technologies, integrating 5 technologies into a new device and new IP, driving innovation and expansion of the company's portfolio.Researched and tested 100+ combinations of excipients for assay lyophilization and rehydration leveraging deep knowledge of molecular biology, chemistry formulation.

London, GB

✤ Supervised and mentored two high-performing research teams consisting of six direct reports as they collaborated on several large projects while managing the clinical development and feasibility testing of the medical device product. ✤ Utilized LiDiaTM system to screen and detect a panel of over 30 blood pathogens and antimicrobial resistance markers.

London, GB

✤ Created and implemented a multiplexed model ‘6-plex’ qPCR assay tool that promptly assessed pH-PCR chemistry and overall performance of the pathogen capture system, while increasing process productivity.✤ Ensured compliance with all CDC requirements, applied approved permits to all purchases and maintained inventory for the blood pathogen bank containing.

London, GB

✤ Oversaw all aspects of molecular assay development, including Taqman® probe-based and nested PCR, to target blood pathogens. ✤ Validated an in-house fungal multiplex ‘5-plex’ qPCR assay for use with Candida species targeted capture system. ✤ Collaborated with 20 team members over three years on $21.5M BARDA government contract to develop an innovative.

Vista, California, US

✤ Confirmed Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) lab developed gene expression real-time PCR assays for CLIA lab. ✤ Isolated RNA using automated Qiagen QiaCube, RT-PCR, and LDT above on ABI 7300 real-time PCR instrument. ✤ Performed 100+/month clinical tests with 3 PCR assays using automated qPCR plate setup instrument.

Albuquerque, NM, US

✤ Conducted 500+/month clinical patient samples on multiple platforms and instruments to screen for genetic testing or acquired mutations in Molecular Diagnostics department. ✤ Provided ongoing assistance to two senior scientists as the lab introduced two additional esoteric testing validations for colorectal tumors and blood clotting polymorphism.

Vista, California, US

✤ Contributed to the research and development of two FDA submitted studies on breast cancer prognostic kit. ✤ Specialized in transferring technology to the manufacturing department and optimizing molecular assays. ✤ Participated in the creation of assays and diagnostics tests via fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) and quantitative PCR techniques.

Dallas, Texas, US

✤ Studied cell division and developed a new protocol to view larval fly brain cell development using FISH techniques.✤ Ran 50+ experiments on centrosomal protein Centrosomin (Cnn) to test for the biological functions of in vitro purified proteins. ✤ Researched chromosome segregation in Cnn mutants genetically and by FISH procedures.
