PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS: RESEARCH BIOLOGIST

Exemplary knowledge of global regulatory guidelines (FDA/GLP, OECD, ICH) for the design, conduct, and reporting of pre-clinical safety studies, specializing in General and Developmental/Reproductive Toxicology.

Expert guidance not only on development of pre-clinical safety study protocol and data collection records (both paper and electronic) for strict compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) but also on development of SOPs and Animal Use Protocols (AUPs).

Diversified Technical expertise in both vivarium and post-life arenas, including but not limited to: fetal morphology examinations (external, visceral, and skeletal); cesarean section data collection; rodent mating and estrous cycle collection and evaluation (traditional and impedance meter methodologies); semen analysis (traditional and automated methodologies including validation of the Hamilton-Thorne system); dose formulation, calculation, and administration; blood collection for systemic exposure evaluation; physical and cage-side examinations.

Exploratory technologies and training in whole embryo culture (WEC); in vitro embryo dissection and perfusion; microinjection and morphological evaluation (Zebra fish technologies).
