Summary
I am a thoughtful Lab Analyst with 3 years of experience building and executing processes for complex laboratory procedures using advanced technology such as PLM microscopy, cell biology assays with immunofluorescence, gel electrophoresis, molecular cloning, PCR analysis and flow cytometry while consistently developing countless reports on results. I've time-tested numerous instrument operations while supporting coworkers and students in following safety protocol and achieving lab goals. My greatest joy as collaborative employee is working with cross-functional teams to achieve desired results especially in high speed environments under pressure with strict deadlines.
