Contributed to the DIVA (Design, Implementation, and Validation Automation) team's efforts in optimizing DNA construction processes for advanced biofuel research.
Utilized the DIVA web interface to evaluate submitted DNA design proposals for feasibility and compatibility with project objectives.
Designed and implemented assembly protocols using DNA assembly design automation software to streamline plasmid construction processes
Collaborated with team members to capture success and failure rates of DNA construction experiments and analyze pipeline performance metrics
Conducted experiments to optimize an alternative method for DNA cleanup, specifically focusing on automated bead cleanup techniques to replace traditional gel extraction methods
Assisted in data analysis and interpretation, contributing to the development of cost-effective and efficient workflows for DNA construction in support of biofuel research objectives
Presented findings and progress updates to team members and project stakeholders, facilitating communication and collaboration within the research group
Performed different types of automated liquid handler machines:
ECHO550 liquid. handler:exceptional precision and accuracy in liquid transfers, with the ability to dispense volumes as low as 2.5 nanoliters used to prepare PCR and run the gel electrophoresis.
BIOMEK Automated Liquid Handler for pipetting a wide range of volume precision and accuracy
Hamilton Nimbus:Used to dispense reagents such as PCR master mix, primers, and template DNA into PCR reaction plates or tubes& was used to automate the extraction of DNA or RNA from various samples.
