  • Trained and supervised 5 undergraduate students in laboratory maintenance duties and experiments.
  • Techniques performed include: cell culture, Western blotting, motility assays, viability assays, 3-dimensional cell culture, immunofluorescence and microscopy.
Research Scientist
January 2005 to January 2008University of Washington - Laboratory of Marilyn C. Roberts
  • Performed standard microbiological experiments to identify and characterize antibiotic resistance genes in bacterial populations isolated from different environments internationally.
  • Maintained inventory and lab supplies.
  • Trained and supervised undergraduate and graduate students and research technicians.
  • Techniques performed include: preparation of various media, culture of many different types of bacterial strains, PCR, Southern and dot blotting, and sequence analysis.
Undergraduate Researcher
January 2003 to January 2004University of Washington - Laboratory of John F. Oram, Ph.D
