@karenoviedo1
Biotechnologist focused on AI search quality, bringing research and quality-control experience to assess the accuracy and relevance of search results.
What I'm looking for
At LAICA, I reviewed scientific results and supporting information for accuracy and consistency, and prepared operational reports, annual plans, and budget documentation.
I maintained standard operating procedures and quality-control practices, coordinated laboratory workflows, and contributed to scientific publications and presentations.
At the Genomic Analysis Laboratory (LAGEN), I conducted research involving molecular characterization, pathogen detection, and real-time PCR. I documented findings, optimized protocols, and interpreted scientific information with attention to reproducibility.
I'm interested in search quality evaluation and helping improve the relevance and usefulness of AI-powered search results. My background also includes advanced English studies at Ned College and assisting with skincare cream development and quality-control activities.
