EDUCATION

Western University of Health Sciences M.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences-May 2015

Area of Research:

Identification the role of mitogen activated Protein Kinase (ERK) in addictions and diabetes

Emphasized on neurobiological mechanisms involved in nicotine, alcohol, and palatable food dependence

Endogenous opioid peptides mechanisms in addictions and diabetes

Technical Expertise:

Graduate Research Associate

Primary Cell isolation, Tissue Culture, DNA amplification, DNA isolation, DNA ligation, DNA sequencing, Genotyping, Western blot, Gel electrophoresis, Protein purification, Protein assays, Mutagenesis-PCR, developing HPLC and UV/Vis methods, preformulation studies and formulation development

FDA validations and qualifications, GLP/GMP, GCP and ICH guidelines

Animal Skills:

I was trained to work with animals and had performed in vivo and vitro experiments. Breeding and genotyping of mice or rats, animal’s training sessions, administration of different drugs, implanting devices in, and following testing sessions, mice or rats were sacrificed and their brains removed, different brain regions isolated and used for western blot or immunohistochemistry experiments. I also have coordinated and executed preclinical pharmacokinetics studies in rodents
