PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Field Engineer

BACARDI CORP, Cataño, P.R. January 2009 to June 2009

Responsibilities include performing laboratory tests to the active ingredients used during the

manufacturing process, to guarantee that comply with Plant requirements and regulations. One of the

most important parts of my current job is to analyze samples of the active ingredients performance at

different interval times. As Field Engineer, I have been required to monitor the environmental conditions

within the laboratory area, to guarantee the integrity of the ingredients.

RESEARCH AND PROJECTS

Indiana University School of Medicine

National Institute of Health –Summer Training Grant- (2008)

My summer research project consisted of investigating the mechanism through which the anti-apoptotic

protein Survivin caused an increase in the levels of p21cip1/waf1, a cell cycle protein that’s also involved

in apoptosis. During the summer I learned several techniques including cell culture and techniques

involved in immunoblotting including:

• Cell harvesting and lysing

• Protein concentration assays

• Sample preparation for SDS-PAGE

• The making of SDS-PAGE gels

• Running protein samples on SDS-PAGE gels

• Transferring of samples from the gels to PVDF membranes

• Probing with primary and secondary antibodies

• ECL washing and exposure onto x-ray film for analysis

Conducted immunoprecipitation work, exposed to FACS analysis, and apoptosis assays (Annexin-V and

7-AAD staining). Also performed microscopic analysis of cells (viable cell counts using trypan blue

exclusion) and prepared lab-made reagents and solutions to be use as part of my research.

Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico

Capstone Course (Senior Project) Consisted of:

• The conceptual design of a plant that utilizes landfill gas to recover methane
