ASCP: HTL ELIGIBLE
TECHNICAL SKILLS
• Proficient with microtome and strainers
• Excellent with special staining.
• Excellent with different protocols in Histology
• Efficiently conducted independent or group laboratory research and accurately recorded data
• Ability to thoroughly research literature and identify pertinent publications using the Internet.
• Proficiency with AMBIS, Sigma Plot, etc.
• Ability to work in an industrial setting for data entry.
• Western blot: Tissue preparation
• Used gel electrophoresis step in western blot analysis to resolve the issue of cross- electrophoresis
of antibodies.
• Transferred protein molecules and separated them according to their sizes using a method called
gel electrophoresis.
• Performed Total protein staining and blocking, which prevents any nonspecific reactions from
occurring.
• Incubated the membrane with an antibody called the primary antibody, which specifically binds to
the protein of interest.
• Performed Detection and visualization before secondary probing. Etc.
RELATED CLINICAL RESEARCH/LAB EXPERIENCE
• DNA Topological Modifications after Gyrase Inhibition: An Independent Study in Genetics
• Explored DNA modifications in E. Coli and Salmonella
• Separated DNA fragments with pulsed gel electrophoresis
• Applied Lowry assays and used spectrophotometry, digital photography, and AMBIS density
• Prepared a written report summarizing data analysis and conclusions
• Advanced our understanding of the activation of the DNA repair system in E. Coli by
demonstrating that both subunits of the topoisomerase enzyme possess a DNA-binding
specificity.
Led clinical trials in Colon and GI tract cancer, overseeing patient recruitment, informed consent, and data collection.
Collaborated with multidisciplinary groups to develop study protocols and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
Analyzed trial data with [specific statistical software], facilitating peer-reviewed papers.
Handled patient follow-up and adverse event reporting, ensuring participant safety and protocol fidelity.
Help prepare grant proposals and stakeholders
presentations to secure research funding for projects.
The above experience highlights my clinical research management skills.
