as for setting up laboratory equipment and instrumentation required to perform tests and scientific
research.
● Write computer programs for data analysis, modeling, and visualization in conjunction with various
open-source programs.
● Perform X-ray crystallography experiments to solve 3-D structures of proteins with unknown function
from Haemophilus influenzae virus using ab initio methods (MIR, MAD, etc) in the structural genomics
project.
● Research Associate at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas. Jul, 1996-Jul, 1999.
● Expert knowledge and experience with antibody structures from the determination of crystal structures
of antibody fragments bound with alpha/beta T-cell receptor and with phencyclidine (angel dust).
● Regularly collaborate with research scientists from different institutions while conducting
experiments and writing manuscripts. Search relevant literature for review and discussion in
manuscripts as needed.
● Write molecular docking program to study the T-cell receptor interactions in collaboration with
immunologists.
