My laboratory experience began in the Neurobiology Department under Dr. Andreas Feigenspan, dissecting the eyes of mice to isolate, dissociate and transfect retinal primary cells. Building on this experience, I am concurrently employed by CytoLogistics as a Research Associate II, and Advanced Targeting Systems (ATS) as a Product Manager. I routinely perform quality control assays for conjugates and antibodies, which includes cell culture, cytotoxicity assays, purification of antibodies, cell transfections, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and flow cytometry. As a Product Manager, I interact with customers regarding the products I am responsible for and keep up with all the relevant scientific references from customers who use them. My scientific experience has grown in regard to transfection of cell lines. I have successfully transfected KNRK cells with several GPCR receptors, such as the GPCR melanopsin, to be used in quality control assays validating antibodies or conjugations produced in-house against the receptor. I am also experienced in the production and purification of recombinant proteins where I was instrumental in producing Recombinant MOA (Marasmius oreades agglutinin), which is unavailable from any commercial source as well as Cholera Toxin B (CTB).
