I am a biochemist with broad experience in virology, structural biology, and molecular biology. I collaborate on projects with both clinical and preclinical staff having diverse skills in cell biology, biophysics, immunology, and medicine. My basic science expertise is in virology, particularly HIV. I maintain an active interest in infectious diseases that impact global health, and in issues surrounding drug resistance. I prepare scientific manuscripts and research presentations that are both compelling and crystal-clear.Specialties: - Enzymatic activity assays- Viral infection assays- Protein expression, purification and analysis- Protein-nucleic acid interactions- Surface plasmon resonance (SPR)- Radioisotope-based assays- NMR spectroscopy of proteins and nucleic acids- Cloning- Tissue culture- Biological lab management- Next-generation sequencing- Droplet digital PCR- Writing/developing scientific manuscripts and grant proposals- Biosafety training and experience with bloodborne pathogens in a BSL2+ setting- Exploratory data analysis and visualization using R- Mentoring junior scientists and technicians
