BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE TECHNICIAN

Five years working in productive academic laboratories using techniques that include the following:

Real-time PCR techniques, water-borne hormone extraction, extracting genomic DNA, total RNA and mRNA. Reverse

transcription protocols, PCR, agarose gel visualization, spectrophotometer analysis, and gene sequencing. Methylation

assay using the EpiTect bisulfite kit and TOPO vector cloning (monoamine oxidase gene) for future use as an in-situ

hybridization probe. Radioimmunoassay and enzymeimmunoassay

MASTERS IN ZOOLOGY-" WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY, PULLMAN WA 2009-2012

Department of Biology-Center for Reproductive Biology-Dr. Gary Thorgaard

Research Objective:

Investigated several domestication issues important for the aquaculture of rainbow trout. The

domestication process has been shown to affect behavior and in some species produces smaller

brain sizes.

Quantified aggressive behavior displays and brain size changes between thirteen domestic and wild strains. Using SAS

statistical software to compute principle component analysis on the combined data

Graduate Teacher Assistant Experience

Duties include development of powerpoint presentations, laboratory equipment set-up and grading

Developmental Biology Lab 321 Fall 2009 & Fall 2010

Introduction to Genetics 301 (Tutorial) Spring 2010

Introduction to Biology 106 Lab (Biology Majors) Spring 2011

Introduction to Biology 102 Lab (Non-biology majors) Fall 2011 thru Fall 2012

BACHELORS OF SCIENCE-" CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, FRESNO CA 2006-2009

Molecular, Cellular, Developmental Biology -- Minor psychology

Department of Biology- Integrative Physiology and Behavior- Dr. Ryan Earley

Summer Internship- Evelyn Knight Brain Institute, Department of Neurobiology-

University of Alabama, Birmingham, Dr. David Sweatt, under postdoc Dr. Tania Roth

Research Objective :

Investigated a novel organism, Kryptolebias marmoratus, which is a self-fertilizing hermaphroditic killifish whose

offspring are genetically identical to the parent.

Quantified aggressive traits and related this behavior to stress/sex hormonal output using a water-borne hormone

collection technique, solid phase extraction and enzymeimmunoassay

Explored possible molecular mechanisms using primers I developed for real-time PCR, we targeted the monoamine

oxidase gene to examine processes that might drive variation in aggressive behavior and endocrine profiles

Student Evaluation comments:

Janet Campbell

BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE TECHNICIAN

I have been impressed with her level of patience with students and knowledge of the subject.

Janet was an amazing TA, one of the best I've had in my three years at WSU. I was able to

fully understand theories and how to apply and she was instrumental in accomplishing this.

She was really great. I don't enjoy the sciences, but she always came to class in a great

mood & made it fun! Thanks!
