WORK HISTORY

Kap Lim

● Research Scientist at the University of Maryland, Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research.

Aug, 1999-May, 2013.

● Maintain full responsibility for strengthening and expanding existing scientific research programs

that involve structural biology, protein crystallography, molecular modeling, and bioinformatics. Apply

extensive knowledge of biochemistry, biophysics, and biomedical engineering to design experiments

and conduct research.

● Accountable for planning, performing, and documenting analytical processes and experiments as well

as for setting up laboratory equipment and instrumentation required to perform tests and scientific

research.

● Write computer programs for data analysis, modeling, and visualization in conjunction with various

open-source programs.

● Perform X-ray crystallography experiments to solve 3-D structures of proteins with unknown function

from Haemophilus influenzae virus using ab initio methods (MIR, MAD, etc) in the structural genomics

project.

● Research Associate at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas. Jul, 1996-Jul, 1999.

● Expert knowledge and experience with antibody structures from the determination of crystal structures

of antibody fragments bound with alpha/beta T-cell receptor and with phencyclidine (angel dust).

● Regularly collaborate with research scientists from different institutions while conducting

experiments and writing manuscripts. Search relevant literature for review and discussion in

manuscripts as needed.

● Write molecular docking program to study the T-cell receptor interactions in collaboration with

immunologists.
