Work History
Biomedical Engineering PhD Trainee
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Birmingham, AL
08.2019 - 12.2024
Utilized cell culture and tissue engineering techniques, in combination with flexible device fabrication and perfusion loops, to model heart physiology and disease.
Collaborated effectively with both intramural and intermural lab groups on the development and execution of joint studies, leading to several peer-reviewed publications.
Educated less senior lab members on various scientific techniques and taught undergraduate students the fundamental aspects of cell culture.
Kept inventory of necessary supplies used by all members of the lab, placing order requests when needed, and I served as the Green Labs ambassador, seeking to conserve energy and eliminate other forms of waste.
Continued to expand my biomedical literacy and hone my abilities to communicate complex scientific information in various formats, through writing papers, presenting posters at conferences, and delivering slideshow presentations at seminars.
Surgical Pathology Lab Assistant
University Of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
Aurora, CO
07.2017 - 06.2018
Described and dissected surgical specimens according to standard laboratory procedures, and submitted the resulting report and tissue samples for diagnostic use.
Assisted in training new personnel on proper use of laboratory equipment or techniques.
Performed electronic record-keeping tasks, creating unique identifiers for incoming specimens.
Followed safety protocols while working with hazardous materials or chemicals in the lab.
Microdissector
Colorado Molecular Correlates Laboratory
Aurora, CO
07.2017 - 06.2018
Worked under the supervision of molecular pathologists to provide patient samples for genetic testing.
Utilizing a microscope, I identified cells with cancerous morphology in patient tissue samples mounted on glass slides and isolated them with a fine scalpel from neighboring normal tissue.
