What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level role in quality assurance, quality control, research, or laboratory diagnostics where I can apply laboratory protocols, data analysis, scientific documentation, and attention to detail.

I've conducted Drosophila genetics research at the Dow Fly Research and Stock Centre, maintaining stocks, supporting experimental crosses, scoring phenotypes, and documenting data under laboratory SOPs.

For my undergraduate thesis, I designed RNAi-based Smt3 gene-knockdown experiments and analyzed viability and phenotypic data using GraphPad Prism and Excel. I also mapped protein-interaction networks with STRING and performed structural visualization using Discovery Studio and NGL Viewer, translating results into a written thesis and formal defense.
