SUMMARY
Dedicated bio-medical research scientist with 15 years experience contributing to interesting research projects. Strong ability to analyze and interpret data and present findings in understandable ways that help other scientists interprets and applies the information to their own work. Demonstrated ability to author manuscripts and prepare successful grant and funding applications.
Effectively managed lab coordination by consistently ensuring supplies, equipment, staffing and more are available to support researchers and research projects. Delivered solid training and supervision to students and staff to ensure the highest quality standards are attained.
Research specialties and experience includes: mitochondrial protein function and transport mechanism, organelle purification, signaling transduction, immunology, primary cell line, gene silencing, virus production, viral entry, biochemistry, neuroinflammation, traumatic brain injury, slice pharmacology, in vivo drug testing, neurohistopathology, animal behavior, blast TBI, brain dissection, concussion TBI.
NOTABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
● Received a ‘Goto Award’ for excellent research activity from Gunma University Graduate School of Medicine by provide evidences of mitosomal proteins localization, function and transport mechanism that could be exploited as novel targets for development of drugs against amoebic dysentery.
●Reported for the first time that HAdV-D37 uses a lipid raft mediated caveolin-1 pathway for entry. This work provides the necessary foundation for the development of drugs to treat human keratoconjunctivitis.
