Worked on the development of antibody and cell-based assays to measure the potency of protein compounds; evaluated relationship between physicochemical properties and in vitro potency of protein compounds. Running immunoassay and bioassay methods for the in vitro evaluation of BaroFold’s protein compounds in research and development.

Ran weekly MIC assays to measure the in vitro activity of an antimicrobial compound against a number of bacterial isolates.Evaluated new compounds in the laboratory that have contributed to the identification of a novel compound.Ran MBC (minimal bactericidal concentration) assays to determine if an antimicrobial agent is cidal or static. Measured non-specific membrane damage effects of a compound through the use of a live/dead staining kit.Used whole cell screening method to identify compounds with antibacterial activity from large compound collections.Determined the effects of antibacterial compounds on the growth of bacteria through the use of a time-kill method. Measured the in vitro activity of an antimicrobial compound against various Candida albicans isolates to assist in determination of compound effects on eukaryotic cells. Detected toxin A and B in supernatants of C. difficile cultures by Western blots using toxin A and toxin B specific monoclonal antibodies.
