CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK SOPHIE DAVIS SCHOOL OF BIOMEDICAL EDUCATION, New York, NY

Research Associate Dept of Physiology, Pharmacology & Neuroscience 2011-Present

I have 8 years of experience in applying molecular and cellular biology techniques in understand the mechanism of action of cancer therapeutics by developing and performing in vitro and in vivo models and assays.

Perform a broad range of biological tests (specifically high throughput screening and pipetting) and with extensive experience in mammalian cell culture, Cell based assay (Cell proliferation), transfections, flow cytometry, ELISA assay, confocal imaging, electron microscopy, tissue staining, and basic molecular and cellular biology techniques.

Expertise in screening compounds with antitumor efficacy in mammalian cancer cells using various cellular based assays. Followed by the in vivo pharmacological evaluation such as anti-tumor efficacy in nude mice xenograft models.

Experienced communicator for collaboration with multi-functional teams, seeking scientific research roles to advance understanding, treatment, and prevention of cancer and other diseases.

HIPAA certified for working under safe laboratory conditions.

Develop and apply modeling approaches to Drug Discovery & Development projects.

Design projects to address specific questions related to Drug Discovery and Development projects.

Develop and implement project plans.

Manage project timelines and responsible for deliverables.

Analyze and interpret simulation results and biological data.

Prepare and present results in reports or at meetings to update Management or Project Team members.

Maintain awareness of relevant areas of research and competitive activity through reading the literature and occasional attendance of appropriate scientific meetings.
