Clinical Research Coordinator
Stanford Division Of Sleep Medicine
06.2021 - Current
- Managed 6 studies on Class I-III medical devices and sleep trackers for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea and chronic insomnia
- Created clinician feedback reports for AmCAD-UO ultrasound device and ASLEEP sound-based sleep tracker. Presented clinical data based findings on design and technical issues to industry sponsor marketing and R&D teams. Findings demonstrated patient size affected user risk and image quality leading to numerous revisions to user manuals
- Managed research project databases and developed study-related protocols, consent forms, and Case Report Forms (CRF)
- Drafted Institutional Review Board (IRB) submissions for initiation of new studies and regulatory compliance of ongoing studies
- Primary contact for study participants for medical history interviews, taking vitals, obtaining informed consent, and conducting ultrasound scans
- Delivered presentations on study-related updates during meetings with research teams, physicians, and industry sponsors
Undergraduate Researcher
USC School of Gerontology, Cohen Lab
08.2018 - 05.2021
- Led research projects exploring the in-vivo and in-vitro neuroprotective effects of 2 novel mitochondrial-derived peptides, SHMOOSE and Humanin
- Performed 30+ mice dissections and measured neurogenesis and amyloid beta formation in brain tissue through BrdU and immunohistochemistry assays
- Used ImageJ and R Studio to analyze collected data sets
- Trained, oversaw, and directed new undergraduates and summer interns in conducting various research procedures such as vibratome slicing, quantitative PCR, RNA-Sequencing, and cell cultures
Clinical Intern
Stanford Endocrinology Clinic, McLaughlin Lab
01.2018 - 08.2018
- Used SYSTAT software to analyze differential gene expression trends in 55 genes for study on insulin-resistant patients pre and post-weight gain
- Assisted in collection and preparation of fat biopsy samples for analysis of gene expression in adipose tissue cells
- Screened patient records to recruit candidates for Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) device studies
Research Intern
Santa Clara University
