Research Laboratory Technician Senior

• Jun 2013 - Jun 2018

My research examines Shiga toxin expression in Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC). My work focuses on understanding the role that DNA damage and prophage activation play in phage replication, bacterial cell lysis, and toxin release. • Independently design experiments and analyze data to present to a primary investigator • Design and order primers and oligos; analyze sequencing results; order reagents as needed My research examines Shiga toxin expression in Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC).
