Professional Profile A scientist with expertise in bioassay development with neuroscience background.
Expertise in in-vitro cell based assay development
Expert in immunoassay development
Good with instrumentation and experienced with different detection
methods
Expert in primary cell culture and cancer cell line culture
Expert in imaging analysis using fluorescent dyes
Professional Biossay Development
Accomplishments Introduced multiple primary neuron based bioassay to test and release
numerous recombinant proteins related to neuroscience.
Developed new bioassays and improved existing bioassays for testing
angiogenesis related proteins and antibodies including VEGF family
and Angiopoietin family.
Trained and guided 4 research associates in multidisciplinary projects
to develop bioassays and immunoassays.
The Group under my supervision developed over 100 cell based assays
and immunoassays to test and release over 300 recombinant proteins
related to neuroscience, angiogenesis, adhesion molecules,
developmental biology, and immunology.
Neuroscience
Showed cannabinoids can inhibit new synapse formation in
hippocampal culture system using imaging analysis.
Showed cannabinoids can inhibit neurotransmitter release in
hippocampal culture system using imaging analysis.
Showed synchronized calcium oscillation in hippocampal culture
system using imaging analysis.
