Work History
Manufacturing Science & Technology Associate
Vernal Biosciences
Colchester, USA
01.2023 - 08.2024
- Engineering - Engineered a cGMP-compliant and cost-effective single-use flow path for mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) encapsulation. Result(s): Grew automated mRNA-LNP production capacity from 12 mg to 5 g batch sizes.
- Innovation - Developed algorithms for optimized and robust mixing and purification of mRNA-LNPs using DOE and fluid dynamics. Result(s): Achieved controllability over LNP size and polydispersity.
- Administration/Records Management - Wrote and managed batch records, SOPs, and process descriptions in accordance with lipid/buffer chemistries, equipment, and mixing/purification parameters used for mRNA-LNP manufacturing in a cleanroom setting.
- Leadership - Managed an interdepartmental team to ensure that samples, materials, projects, and research updates were properly relayed between the analytical, research, and process development groups, as well as upper management.
Research Assistant, Neurology
University of Vermont Medical Center
Burlington, USA
01.2021 - 01.2023
- Investigated trends in the evaluation and management of constipation in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) in preparation for a clinical trial.
- Reviewed the electronic health records (EHRs) of several hundred PD patients in Epic Systems, taking notes on basic demographics, medication histories, and disease progression.
- Analyzed data in Microsoft Excel, and co-authored an abstract for the 2023 International Congress Meeting for the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
