Detail-oriented researcher with hands-on experience in patient care and the groundwork of various laboratory techniques across biochemistry, organic chemistry, microbiology, and molecular biology. Conducted research on the effects of perchlorate, an industrial pollutant, on Daphnia magna. This further aided in enhancing skills in confocal microscopy, inverted fluorescence microscopy, aseptic technique, morphological analysis, RT-PCR, gene expression, and survivability assessments.
