December, 20 2016 - Verified by Geisinger College of Health Sciences• Communicated critical department research guidelines and chemical processes to scientists
• Managed samples for chemical library (repository); used in high throughput screening experiments
• Processed chemical compounds using analytical balances (Mettler), fume hooded weighing enclosures, and automated liquid handling instruments (TECAN)
• Assured accuracy and quality production of QC, NMR, and IVTP plates; produced for biochemical assays
• Oversaw data handling, inventory tracking, record keeping, and shipping processes for projects
• Thoroughly executed Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), Current Good Laboratory Practices (cGLP), and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP)
• Independently designed, led, and executed a transfection efficiency study; Evaluated co-transfection rates in mutant and wildtype drosophila Schneider 2 (S2) cells at different cell concentrations. Efforts showed that the wildtype was a better transfection vector at 1.5 million cells per milliter, which resulted in a 2-fold increase in qualitative data production for the transfection protocol used in the Biology Post-Doctoral Program
• Produced and analyzed data for the heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) study; Qualitatively elucidated the mechanism and nuclear localization patterns of HSP27 in stressed drosophila Schneider 2 (S2) cells via transient co-transfections, cell immunocytofluorescence; analyzed cell data by utilizing Nikon software
• Cultured, manufactured, and maintained drosophila Schneider 2 cell lineage and drosophila genotype library (fly flipping)
• Created the “Intravenous Laboratory Technique/Management Course” for the Forbes Pharmacy staff. Efforts improved productivity and time efficiency for tasks completed in the sterile laboratory
• Reported pharmaceutical guidelines and procedures with physician and nursing staffs
• Prepared patient intravenous medications in the Intensive Care Unit by utilizing aseptic technique in a 797 compliant laminar hood (i.e. antibiotics, cardiopelegic, vasodilators)
• Lead the development of “Code Cart Management Initiatives” continuing education (C.E.) course for Einstein Pharmacy employees
• Formulated a cost saving initiative that involved the wastage of floor stock insulin on nursing units
• Prepared patient intravenous medications in the Intensive Care Unit by utilizing aseptic technique in a 797 compliant laminar hood
• Batched pharmacy stock medications (i.e. antibiotics, cardiopelegic)
• Collaborated with research staff to innovate treatment methods for cystic fibrosis (CF); Contributed towards enhancing molecular chaperone function, which may remedy CF symptoms
• Produced data by performing recombinant protein purifications, electrophoresis, and Bradford assays on HLJ1, a homolog of mammalian co-chaperone DnaJ/ heat shock protein 40 (HSP40)
