Motivated researcher with a strong interest in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. Follows detailed
procedures precisely executing a variety of research tasks while maintaining high quality control standards
and present clear and concise data. Drives multiple projects at once with a rigorous weekly schedule under
little to no supervision. Successfully masters new skills rapidly and contributes immediately.
EXPERIENCE
Brigham and Women’s Hospital/ Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 2010 to 2014
Research Technician
Supervised the design and timely execution of complex in vivo and in vitro experiments. Guided
subsequent data analysis. Defined research goals, established research parameters, and secured necessary
resources. Drafted protocols, manuscripts, and technical documentation. Presented data at weekly
meetings, poster symposiums, and bi-annual inter-laboratory discussions. Cleaned and organized common
areas in the laboratory; assisted with equipment calibration and maintenance. Oversaw the replenishment
of laboratory supplies. Adhered to established procedures for lab safety. Secured permanent position in
2012 following two successful full-time contracts.
Executed numerous studies exploring the effects of hypoxia-driven microRNA on the pulmonary
vasculature and resulting in numerous peer-reviewed publications.
Coordinated joint ventures, scientific discussions, and data and precious sample transfer in cooperation
with domestic and international research groups.
Trained seven new and visiting post-doctoral fellows, two graduate students, three technicians, and two
undergraduate students in general and specialized laboratory techniques.
Saved in excess of $10,000 per year effectively allocating and tracking laboratory resources on a
stringent budget.
Instrumental in lab receiving grant approval to continue research based on data and conclusions
contained in most recent article authored and published.
Met critical revision deadline for seven research publications.
LABORATORY SKILLS
Proficient in mammalian tissue culture, rodent handling, right heart catheterization of rodents, bacterial
culture and plasmid prep/transformation real time qPCR, SDS-PAGE/ELISA, Transfection/transduction,
immunoprecipitation, tissue processing, RNA Extraction and handling, and RNA/protein quantification
Familiar with flow cytometry and mass spectrometry, immunohistochemistry, and HPLC
