Conduct in vitro biochemical screening assays in a HTS setting

South Plainfield, New Jersey

Routinely perform in vitro testing to detect CT/NG, HPV and hepatitis using PCR technique

Helped develop and validate immuno-oncology based flow cytometry assays and implemented new assay protocols for routine screening purposes in a discovery setting.Prepare, stain and acquire clinical samples data using BD FACS Canto analyzer.Analyzed data using FloJo software.

Routinely performed technical and non-technical procedures for clinical samples using various experimental procedures and document results accurately.Served as primary operator for Flow cytometer. Regularly prepared clinical specimens for enumeration of lymphocyte immunophenotyping and routinely conducted high complexity custom Flow assays. Analyzed and reviewed post acquisition data for custom Flow assays using Coulter CXP software. Performed serology, manual and automated immunoassays and molecular pathology assays for quantitation of infectious diseases with minimal supervision. Assist in the validation of new Flow cytometry methods. Operated, maintained, calibrated, and resolved problems with analytical instruments such as incubators and centrifuges per documented procedures.Performed general laboratory tasks in accordance to SOPs and GLP guidelines.

Routinely performed technical and non-technical procedures required to process blood samples related primarily to hepatitis screening. Assigned specific computer generated identification numbers, screen samples, checked for accuracy, and recorded all results and procedures. Familiar with all new lab procedures, location of stored specimens, and methods to pull specimens from various departments as requested.Prepared leukocytes for immunofluorescence staining and fixation of cells using TQ Prep and Prepplus workstations.Analyzed, interpreted, and reported lymphocyte population using flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter).Performed in vitro immunoassay for qualitative determination of antibodies to HIV using ADVIA Centaur and for antigen / antibodies to the Hepatitis B virus using Immulite 2000.Utilized Western blot technique for confirmatory HIV readouts.

Processed blood work for karotyping and generated final report. Responded to rapid increase in workload by identifying strategies to organize department workflow to perform multiple patient screenings and generate needed reports. Streamlined day-to-day operations resulting in eliminating need for additional workers or overtime hours and providing cost savings for employer.
