Recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Massachusetts Boston. Equipped with hands-on experience in cell culture, PCR, mass spectrometry, and NMR, eager to apply skills in a professional setting. Background as a student in lab settings and as a Pharmacy Technician has developed strong analytical abilities, attention to detail, and a commitment to improving healthcare outcomes. Seeking an opportunity to leverage knowledge and passion in a dynamic and innovative environment.
- Performed chemical reactions to synthesize organic compounds, such as esterification, nucleophilic substitutions, and elimination reactions. Learned to prepare reaction mixtures, monitor progress of reactions, and work up reaction products.
- Cell Culture and Microscopy: Cultivated brain cells and examined cellular functions and architecture with fluorescence microscopy.
-Electrophysiology: Conducted studies to quantify electrical activity in neurons, such as patch-clamp and extracellular recordings.
- Molecular Techniques: Gene expression and protein localization in brain tissues were examined using Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and PCR.
- Data Analysis: Used bioinformatics tools and statistical software to analyze experimental data in order to evaluate findings and make inferences.
