Work history

Genetics Research Intern

University of Aberdeen, Alexander Lorenz
Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire
01.2023 - 03.2023
  • Conducted a thesis project titled "Introducing chromosome-structural variants into the fission yeast ade6 gene using a CRISPR-Cas9 approach and how they affect meiotic recombination outcomes."
  • Utilized CRISPR-Cas9 technology to create a series of S. pombe strains with varying-sized deletions in the ade6+ gene.
  • Performed crosses between the series of strains containing ade6+ deletions and the ade6-3083 hotspot allele.
  • Conducted a recombination assay to assess the number of successful spores grown on different assay media, contributing to the determination of meiotic recombination outcomes.
  • Gained hands-on experience in gene editing, strain manipulation, and recombination assays, honing practical laboratory skills.
  • Developed proficiency in CRISPR-Cas9 technology application for targeted genome editing and analysis of genetic outcomes.
  • Collaborated effectively with lab members, including the supervisor, to discuss progress, share insights, and seek guidance when needed.
  • Demonstrated a strong understanding of molecular biology and genetics principles, translating theoretical knowledge into practical research applications.
  • Successfully presented research findings to peers and faculty members, showcasing the ability to communicate complex scientific concepts concisely and clearly.

Immunology Lab Assistant

University of Minnesota, David Masopust
Minnesota City, Minnesota
07.2020 - 08.2020
  • Collaborated with experts, PhD, and MD-PhD students in a cutting-edge research project focused on developing a protective HIV vaccine.
  • Assisted in various lab tasks, including equipment operation and maintenance, while consistently displaying a strong eagerness to learn and ask insightful questions.
  • Gained hands-on experience in utilizing laboratory equipment, accurately calculating antibody concentrations in solutions, and handling mice for injections.
  • Acquired an extensive understanding of fundamental immunology principles through interactions with experienced researchers and immersive learning opportunities.
  • Fostered positive relationships with older students, showcasing strong teamwork and communication skills within a diverse and knowledgeable research community.
  • Demonstrated adaptability and a willingness to take on new challenges, contributing to the overall success of the research team.
