Rebecca Denzil
@rebeccadenzil
Biotech Engineer with R&D experience in immunoassays, flow cytometry, and data analysis (JMP)
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented R&D professional with a Distinction in Biotechnology Engineering and one year of core industry experience at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences. My expertise lies in executing immunoassays, multi-colour flow cytometry, and cell culture, complemented by hands-on laboratory skills and strong capabilities in statistical data analysis using JMP. I am eager to leverage my scientific and communication skills to contribute to a challenging role in R&D, Quality Control, or Scientific Communications.
During my time at Beckman Coulter, I executed critical characterization studies and resolved customer complaints through systematic experiments. I also conducted logistics experiments to enhance supply chain efficiency and monitored myeloid cell percentages to support COVID-19 immune analysis. My previous internships have further honed my skills in immunoassays and statistical analysis, allowing me to contribute effectively to research projects and improve processes.
