Molecular biologist in clinical and research labs, preparing DNA and RNA sequencing libraries and diagnostic reports.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Menarini Silicon Biosystems, I prepared samples for a clinical cell search assay, used the Cell Tracks Analyzer to gate samples, and reported results after identifying circulating tumor cells.
At University of Pennsylvania, I performed Sanger sequencing and qPCR diagnostic assays to identify disease-causing genetic mutations, isolated DNA from blood samples, and wrote testing reports for patient care teams.
At WuXi App Tec - Analytical Development, NGS, I prepared DNA and RNA libraries for Ion Torrent and Oxford Nanopore platforms and authored SOP manuals for digital-droplet PCR and Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencing. Earlier, I authored immunohistochemistry SOPs at Rutgers University and trained rotating graduate students on the procedures.
