At UIUC Vet Med, I recovered and analyzed pathogenic microbes from animal specimens and performed testing on BSL-2+ organisms. I also expanded a MALDI-TOF library using 16S Colony PCR sequencing.
I collaborated with Quality Assurance on laboratory practices and procedures to conform to AAVLD accreditation standards, and performed cell culture testing and analysis.
At CSL Behring, I determined bioburden in water and pharmaceutical products and materials, reviewed contamination event trends, and served as a subject matter expert for sterile filtration and liquid-born particulates assays. Earlier, at Merieux Nutrisciences, I tested food products for contamination and performed ROKA PCR testing, data entry, and review.
