I have worked on numerous projects discovering functions of viral and cellular proteins and their mechanisms of action (Rotavirus, Hantavirus, Adenovirus, Influenza, Hepatitis B, and D). In my increasing responsibility roles, I simultaneously lead and solving multiple projects, leading multi-disciplinary teams, working with cross-functional teams, and collaborating with international teams. • Virology Specialist in infection, virus production, and purification, viral titration (plaque-assay, FACS, direct and indirect immunostaining), virus-like particle production, viral vector technologies, cell biology, discovering functions of viral and cellular proteins and their mechanisms of action and translational studies in industry. • Extensive knowledge in molecular biology and biochemistry techniques, operation of DNA and RNA amplification techniques, qRT-PCR, cloning, immunoprecipitation protein expression (bacterial, insect, mammalian cells) and purification, AKTA-FPLC (affinity chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography (IEX), size-exclusion (SEC)), ultrafiltration, tangential flow filtration. SDS-PAGE, native gels, WB, ELISA. • All methods throughout the gene-to-crystallization process, including cloning, production, purification, and biophysical methods. I have gained valuable experience working with protein expression in different systems.
