• Development of bioengineered proteins with therapeutic properties using the directed evolutionmethod (gene libraries, PCR, mutagenesis, cloning, and recombination assay).• Development of a PCR-based droplet-microfluid methodology to identify latent-infected HIV T-cellsfrom HIV-positive patients.• Development of therapeutic strategies for genetic diseases by engineered CRISPR/Cas9 technology and Cre recombinase.

Orange County, California Area

• Management and analysis of complex data derived from DNA-Chip, DNA-Sequencing and Metabolome technologies, through the use of scripts and software, to initiate down-stream experiments.• Managed in vivo and in vitro experiments to perform biochemical assays.• Created boardroom and courtroom multimedia presentations including video and text- sync’d depositions for enhanced understanding.• Conducted research on the molecular epigenetic and physiological mechanisms of mental diseases.• Investigation of molecular pathways to identify novel targets for alternative and more efficient drugs for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Institute Of Molecular Cancer Research

• Contributed to the design and implementation of research methodologies including writing of questionnaires.• Collaboratively wrote proposals for research grant submissions, publications and conference papers to disseminate research findings.• Study published as first authorship with the leading journal of Biology in the world with 14266 citations in 2016.• Contributed collaboratively to research projects as part of the research team.• Developed productive and effective working relationships with academic, administrative and research colleague’s, stakeholders and partners.• Liaised as appropriate to facilitate research and funding opportunities for example with external partners, stakeholders, and colleagues.

Zürich Area, Svizzera

• Made informed judgments on complex issues in specialist fields, and communicate their ideas and conclusions clearly and effectively to specialist and non-specialist audiences.• Developed and increased the efficacy of protocols in collaboration with my team.• Voluntarily assisted Bachelor, Master, and Ph.D. students to understand difficult topics and to progress with their projects.• Challenged existing laboratory safety guidelines and infection control procedures while performing pre-clinical trials, in order to successfully mitigating any possible accidents in the lab.• Constantly completed lab tests and experiments in compliance with regulatory requirements.• Extracted DNA and RNA from samples and kept accurate databases of specimen.• Conducted research on drug discovery, DNA damage, DNA repair mechanisms in human cells, and clinical cancer research.

Bellinzona, Ticino, Switzerland

• Worked on a highly competitive project at the interface between DNA damage and epigenetics that required massive use of end-point PCR, RT-PCR, and DNA/RNA biochemical techniques.• Conducted research project on DNA damage and non-coding RNAs in prostate cancer.• Studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals as result of strong teamwork.• Devised experimental therapeutics with strict attention to detail.• Professionally led the planning and execution stages of the project in collaboration with my team.• Analyzed all data relevant to laboratory tests and active experiments.• Ensured that lab safety always remained a top priority and followed all applicable safety rules and laws.• Troubleshoot and improved laboratory protocols by creating a more efficient way to conduct tests and experiments.• Established a bridge of communication that allowed researchers from different institutions to share and work towards a common goal .• Instructed staff and students in basic laboratory techniques and performed related laboratory maintenance such as maintaining and cleaning equipment and ordering supplies.
