• Project manager for advancing the understanding of kidney disease states in living kidney donation with subsequent exposure to toxic drugs.• Assured quality by being lead in SOP development, document and record keeping, equipment validation, internal knowledge transfer and reporting adverse events of test-subjects with targeted drug. • Controlled quality of high-throughput data through standardization of data entry and data cleaning.• Implemented randomized pre-clinical trials, in vivo (GLP) testing acute, chronic, and sub-chronic toxicity of living subjects exposed to chemotherapy agents. Additional studies using biomarkers were used as measurable indicators of chronic kidney disease.• Identified patterns through biostatistical analysis of data from two case-control epidemiological studies in living subjects (tens of thousands of data points) • Published and wrote research and medical papers, posters, oral presentations, and seminars, with accuracy, clarity, and consistency.
