SUBJECT LINE: Noah Metoki-Shlubsky – Scientist

Dear Hiring Manager,

My name is Noah, and I am a highly decorated biomedical engineer, who recently concluded her post-doctoral fellowship at Northwestern University in the Material Science and Engineering department. I am an enthusiastic, entrepreneurial, self-motivated, result oriented and persuasive team player with love for science and a keen interest in chemistry and coatings. During my PhD I worked with coatings for medical implants, nanomaterials, tailored surface chemistry (Self-Assembled Monolayers), biodegradable polymers, and coated titanium alloys electrochemically. I am well versed in various STEM, surface chemistry, and mechanical characterization techniques, as well as ISO and ASTM regulations, and excited to expand my knowledge. During my PhD I was entrusted with a variety of projects (in and outside of the academia) as well as collaborations, and published 14 manuscripts. Moreover, I wrote a winning proposal for Prof. R. Rahamimoff Travel Grant of the United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF). This allowed me to collaborate for two months with Prof. David Seidman using the picosecond ultraviolet laser-assisted local electrode atom probe (LEAP) tomograph to study the interface between Au substrate and electrodeposited calcium phosphate at atomic resolution. This work yielded a joint publication. I am a co-Founder of Tel-Aviv University Chapter of the Materials Research Society

(MRS), and was the head of the chapter for two years. During my time as head of the chapter we were able to double the chapter's members, receive funding, and create several outreach programs encouraging scientific thinking in different communities such as kindergartens, high schools and undergraduate students. I have a very wide background in Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, and Material Science including familiarity with a variety of topics such as surface chemistry, organic chemistry, electrochemistry, microfluidics (clean room), nanoscience, organic chemistry, ceramics, biomimetics, polymers, and programming. I am very excited to apply and advance my knowledge into new frontiers.

During my PhD I worked with two advisors from different institutions, The Hebrew University (Chemistry) and Tel-Aviv University (Material Science) as well as international collaborations from China, Brazil and the USA. In addition, through my 7 years of PhD and postdoctoral training, I bring a broad range of technical skills and lab protocols that would contribute to research growth and help push the technical edge further towards novel excellence. I offer particular strength in experiment design and scientific writing skills, as well as experience with thin films and experience in the safe handling of hazardous nanomaterials and chemicals. During my PhD I gave several talks at conferences, participated in group meeting, managed several individuals (in several levels of knowledge), was the point person of technology transfer and scale-up process, and won several awards. I am looking for a new home to grow into, expand my expertise and abilities, learn new methods and acquire new abilities. I know that I would be an outstanding team player and innovative contributor, and am truly excited to learn and advance scientific knowledge. I would value the opportunity to further discuss this role. Thank you for your consideration.

Kind Regards,

Noah Metoki-Shlubsky, PhD

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Post-Doctoral Fellow, Northwestern University, Materials Science and Engineering Department 4/17 – 1/20

• Research focuses on nucleation and growth of calcium carbonate that explores phase transition in picoliter droplets mimicking in vivo conditions. Work emphasizes benchtop and light microscopy skills alongside chemical thermodynamics and kinetics

• Two manuscripts are in progress, one intended for Nature Practicum Intern Program, Innovation Office, Northwestern University 7/18 – 1/19

• Evaluated multiple invention disclosures for patentability, market and commercial readiness (in and outside of my wheelhouse) and communicated findings with technology transfer staff and faculty inventors

• Functioned as a Marketing intern, drafted one-pagers and reached out to industry for in-licensing

• Experience with technology transfer systems such as Inteum and Sophia and patent data bases such as Google Patents, PatSnap, USPTO and Global Data

PhD, Tel-Aviv University, Material Science and Engineering Department 10/11-3/17

• Secondary PhD advisor from The Hebrew University, Chemistry department

• Conducted multiple research projects in different fields (chemical, biomedical and material science) utilizing the facilities and resources of several universities

• Collaborated internationally with many individuals and groups from China, Brazil and the USA

• Wrote 14 publications, ten of which as first/co-first author, one review paper with over 100 citations

• Investigated and developed a novel electrochemical coating that allowed for bone integration into bone implant

• Studied Self-Assembled Monolayers using electrochemical methods to tailor surface chemistry. Different surface chemistries were used to tailor coating adhesion strength

• Worked with ASTM and ISO regulations

• Co-deposited nanomaterials in the coating

• Research emphasized surface chemistry, electrochemical coatings and biomineralization methodologies

• Technology was commercially acquired. Served as the lab liaison who guided the process from bench to manufacturing.
