2014.09 - 2020.06

As Research Scientist( Molecular and Computer Biologist ) my role involved conducting cutting-edge research to understand the molecular mechanisms of cancer development, progression, and treatment. Here are some key tasks and responsibilities I was involved in:

-Cell Culture and Model Development: I cultured and maintained various cancer cell lines

-Genomic Analysis: You utilized next-generation sequencing technologies (e.g., RNA-seq, DNA-seq, ChIP-seq) to analyze genetic alterations, gene expression patterns, and epigenetic changes in cancer cells.

-Biomarker Identification: I identified potential biomarkers that aided in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response prediction. This involved studying gene mutations, protein expression patterns, or non-coding RNA molecules.

-Drug Screening and Development: I evaluated the efficacy of new or existing anticancer drugs using cell-based assays and animal models to identify potential therapeutic agents.

-Molecular Pathways and Signaling: I investigated the molecular pathways involved in cancer growth, metastasis, and drug resistance, aiming to uncover potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

-Gene Editing and Manipulation: I used CRISPR/Cas9 or other gene editing techniques to create genetically modified cancer cell lines or animal models for functional studies.

-Bioinformatics Analysis: I analyzed large datasets generated from genomics, proteomics, or other high-throughput technologies using bioinformatics tools to extract meaningful insights.

-Grant Writing: I prepared and submitted research grant proposals to secure funding for research projects.

-Lab Management: I led a research team, I wasF responsible for overseeing lab operations, managing resources, and mentoring junior researchers and students.)
