@danajenkins
I advance biomedical R&D through biophysical characterization, medical device research, and data-driven analysis.
What I'm looking for
I'm advancing biomedical R&D at Bristol Myers Squibb through biophysical characterization, binding assays, and analytical methods including ELISA, SPR, BLI, mass spectrometry, and LC-MS.
At The University of Texas at Austin, I worked in biomedical engineering and medical device R&D, with experience in polymer-based medical devices, materials science, cell biology, mammalian cell culture, and data analysis.
I've also supported Google projects through GlobalLogic, training and evaluating AI outputs, building JavaScript automation for data analysis, and upholding data privacy procedures. In a production coordination role, I managed a team of 43 employees, addressed workflow bottlenecks, and provided training.
As a published author and mentor with a Ph.D. in Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering, I'm passionate about collaborative research that improves patient outcomes. I aspire to lead an interdisciplinary team developing impactful scientific solutions.
