At NAMSA, I am responsible for planning and conducting microbiology testing, data analysis and writing reports. Over the past year I completed over 15 standard and customised client microbiology projects in a diverse range of topics including carrier and suspension tests, antibiofilm (MBEC, Drip Flow and CDC), viral inactivation (TCID50 assay), wound dressing, oral hygiene, cytotoxicity and ELISA studies. I also chaired team meetings and gave technical support for the laboratory manager and commercial team. As a Scientist II, part of my duties included the mentoring of Junior Scientists and Lab Techs while creating and reviewing R&D protocols. At NAMSA I developed a microbial enumeration technique that saved up to £50k/year in consumables.
