  • 2001 - 2009

  As bench scientist, developed reagents and in vitro assays for single-molecule fluorescence detection, including spatial mapping of DNA using fluorescent transcription factors, determination of equilibrium/kinetic constants for transcription factor-DNA interactions, single-nucleotide polymorphism detection/haplotyping, and solution-phase immunoassays. Activities included engineering, expression, fluorescent labeling and purification of DNA-binding proteins, chemical and enzymatic labeling of DNA and antibodies with fluorophores, operating single-molecule instrument and data analysis software, training and managing small groups of research associates. Development and validation of ultra-sensitive quantitative assays based on single-molecule fluorescence detection, including particle-based immunoassays for detecting cytokines, chemokines and cardiac protein markers in clinical serum/plasma and oligonucleotide-based assays for detecting genetically-modified organisms in seed crops. Activities included developing research plans, establishing and monitoring progress against milestones, drafting reports for and presenting data to external collaborators, serving as primary author on published manuscripts, writing SOPs, training and mentoring scientists, and participating in bench experimentation.
