Protein scientist with over ten years of experience in the design, purification, and characterization of target molecules for assessment in biochemical studies, bioassays, and in vivo models. My current role involves the development of purification strategies and analytical methods for antibodies, engineered proteins, and bi- and tri-specific molecules. I’m passionate about the development of novel therapeutics and am utilizing my biochemical and biophysical skillset towards the advancement of immuno-oncology therapies. Proficient at protein purification using affinity (Protein A), size exclusion (SEC), ion exchange (IEX), and hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) using AKTA FPLC systems. Skilled in characterizing protein:protein and protein:small molecule interactions using a variety of techniques (ELISA, ITC, SPR, FP, Octet-BLI)Experienced in the expression and purification of molecules from multiple expression systems (E. coli, yeast, mammalian tissue culture), as well as enzymatically modifying proteins for functional assays and high-throughput screening.Protein modelling and experimental structural determination utilizing X-ray crystallography (COOT, Phenix, PyMOL) and electron microscopy.
