oAuthored five, first-author publications.
oMaintained animal colonies (Syrian hamsters and mice) while conducting the lab’s genotyping, DNA extraction program, PCR assays, and ensured accurate notes for publications and accurate records for regulatory compliance, all within a very lean budget.
oDeveloped an improved methodology for tracking longitudinal data for animal colonies allowing the combination of data from different experiments and split data to study sub-groups, thus saving man-hours and easing analyses’ performances which, otherwise, would have not undergone the proper level of lab scrutiny.
oAwarded the HEEP Fellowship in Neuroscience covering 42 months of salary.
oObtained needed funding as sources were shrinking and was also able to extend the project longer than projected.
oImproved the DNA purification process and eliminated a major source of contamination that had often interfered with prior assays.
