signaling pathways. Generated resistant cell lines to specific drugs.
Demonstrated effectiveness in management of external collaborations and
outsourcing
(Leadership role in performing Cell Prime Collagen Gels assay to determine
certain drug efficacy and specificity.
(Implemented a new drug-screening assay using a new technology Fluorescence
Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) in in-vitro. The new technology decreased
the turn around time spent in drug screening from 5-days to 1-day.
(Leadership role in developing Biomarker assays to determine drug
specificity and selectivity in JAK/ stat signaling Pathway.
(Responsible for developing novel FITC Lectin-Matrigel assay in screening
native fluorescence compounds in 96 well formats.
(Presented TargeGen in American Association of Cancer Research conference
(AACR) in 2006.
Genomic institute of the Novartis Foundation, San Diego, CA 2003
to 2003
Research Associate III:
Developed assays for novel drug targets using Fluorescence Polarization
(FP) for the HIV project. Studied the effect of different buffer conditions
on the activity of HIV integrase.
(Determined the activity of HIV integrase using a cost effective technique.
EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS (cont'd)
NewBiotics, Inc., Oncology Department, San Diego, CA 2001
to 2003
Research Associate II:
Leadership role in managing screening assays including XTT, apoptosis, and
mycoplasma assays. Leadership role in programming the fluidic robotic
(Multi- Probe II) to perform various cell based assays. Developed new
protocol for drug screening in cell based assay and performed data
analysis. Maintained mammalian and tumor cell lines. Presented technical
reports to upper managements.
(Optimized the turn around time of cell screening assays.
(Provided management with timely supportive data of structural design for
further investigational in in-vivo studies.
INOVA Diagnostics, Inc, San Diego, CA 2000
