Professional Background
WILLIS-KNIGHTON HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER
June 2004- present
Medical Technologist
Presently, work as generalist in all areas of the clinical laboratory. Responsible for processing patient specimens, performing laboratory procedures, and recognizing deviation from expected results; resolving inconsistencies and correcting problems using laboratory protocol, maintaining laboratory equipment and instruments, including troubleshooting for instrument malfunction and ensuring quality control. Customary laboratory instrumentation for hematology, chemistry, coagulation, urinalysis, and blood banking are utilized. Additionally, customer service is provided by answering questions from and relaying pertinent information, such as critical results, to patient providers regarding test processes, patient results, or sample collection.
Center for Fertility - Laboratory
This position includes the following: performing semen analysis, preparation of sperm for IUI and IVF procedures, semen cryopreservation, seminal fructose test, anti-sperm antibody test; preparation of donor specimens for IUI procedures, processing patient blood specimens for fertility assays, and reporting results to nurses and physicians. The instrument used for testing in our clinic is the Siemens Immulite1000 analyzer. Responsibilities also include maintenance and troubleshooting of instrument malfunction and erroneous results of testing. Additionally, training is incorporated for IVF procedures to facilitate education and advancement of the technologist for such procedures as oocyte retrieval, fertilization check and embryo grading, ICSI procedures, assisted hatch procedures, media preparation and culture dish set up. QC of all fertility testing and procedures are performed daily and periodic calibrations are carried out according to requirements issued by Siemens and CAP. Maintenance of incubators, nitrogen tanks, and maintaining inventory of all supplies and testing materials are necessary for the day to day operation of the Lab.
LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER
April 1998 - June 2004
Research Core Facility
Research Associate
Each project begins with discussion with investigators regarding specifics of his/her research project in order to facilitate identification of proteins. The instrument utilized in the identification of target proteins is the Voyager-DE PRO MALDI-tof mass spectrometer. Analysis begins with purification of the protein of interest, usually by HPLC or gel electrophoresis, followed by proteolytic digestion of the sample, extraction of peptides from SDS-page gels, and MALDI-tof analysis of the samples. This analysis provides a peptide fingerprint of that protein for submission to databases, such as NCBI or SWISS PROT, which contain all known proteins that have been sequenced, and contain theoretical peptide masses. From the matches given, subsequent analysis must be followed through to determine real identification as opposed to random matches. This included incorporation of other programs such as ExPASY and MS-TAG, which provide theoretical amino acid sequences for comparison to the target protein. Other aspects of the position include maintenance and troubleshooting of the mass spectrometer, record keeping, stock reagent upkeep and efficiency in computer processing programs for creating data acquisition reports. Continuous research of current advances in this technology, including protocol for sample preparation and peptide extraction from gels, is essential to providing researchers with the information they require.
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
Research Associate
Engaged in research involving protein interactions. Fulfillment of protocol included manipulation of DNA and construction of new plasmid DNA through restriction enzyme digests and ligation of truncated DNA to transfect into competent cell lines of E.coli bacteria. These protocols incorporated purification of DNA, gel electrophoresis for protein separation, and PCR amplification. Also, performed yeast transformations using the yeast two-hybrid system. Preparation of media to generate competent bacterial cell lines, and maintaining inventory and ordering supplies for the lab, which allowed knowledge of the LSU operating systems were also handled by the research technologist.
Diagnostic Virology Laboratory
Clinical Associate
Position required generation and maintenance of stock culture cell lines, media prep, EIA immunoassay for patient specimens testing for rotavirus, respiratory syncytial virus, and influenza viruses, A and B. Further carried out by the clinical associate was the inoculation of viral specimens into cell culture to visualize growth of viruses for identification and staining of cultures with immunofluorescent antibodies to diagnose viruses such as CMV, herpes, and Chlamydia species.
