Abdeslam El Bakkali

SUMMARY

Molecular biologist with in-depth knowledge of Next Generation DNA sequencing via Illumina Seq and experienced with CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. An excellent scientific writer. Qualified to work wet labs; genetic data analysis, PCR sequencing, and DNA Microarray analysis. I worked on one of the first academic college studies done on Next Generation Sequencing, in a CSUSM Laboratory. I have a 1-year experience of CRISPR gene editing, and 1- year experience of using Next generation Sequencing (NGS) used to assess mutational profile of cancer samples.
