Work History

Student Research Assistant

USC, Professor Gauri Rao’s Research Lab
02.2025 - Current

In vitro pharmacodynamic assays:

  • Performed MIC testing, Hollow Fiber Infection Model (HFIM), and static concentration–time kill (SCTK) on CRAB and MDR P. aeruginosa;
  • Conducted Limulus Amebocyte Lysate endotoxin assays to quantify antibiotic-induced bacterial lysis and inflammatory potential.

HFIM data processing:

  • Assisted with HFIM data organization and analysis over 7-day humanized antibiotic exposures

PK/PD modeling support:

  • Prepared datasets, formatted S-ADAPT input files, and supported exposure–response assessment for PBPK-PD model development;
  • Helped interpret killing-curve and HFIM results for the CNS PBPK-PD study

Intern

Guangdong Institute for Drug Control (GDIDC)
02.2024 - 05.2024
  • Assisted senior analysts in the quality control testing of antibacterial drugs in accordance with the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and enterprise specifications.
  • Performed HPLC assays (active ingredient quantification, related substances, system suitability) and conducted moisture determination (Karl Fischer) and ash determination (total ash/acid-insoluble ash).
  • Responsible for sample preparation, dilution, weighing, filtration, and data recording to ensure analytical accuracy.
  • Prepared raw data records and test reports in compliance with GMP/GLP data integrity requirements.
  • Supported routine laboratory maintenance including instrument checks, reagent management, and documentation control.
