• Research Scientist/Engineer

  • May 2005 - Oct 2005

  Supported the construction of some plasmids to find a novel marker in analyzing prostate cancer other than PSA. Worked with small animals to collect blood and harvest internal organs for producing serum and PBMC. Processed human blood samples to generate serum or plasma for patients involved in the study of prostate cancer research. Key Accomplishments: • Aided in the successful amplification of gene inserts via PCR.

• Reseach Scientist/Engineer

  • Jun 2003 - May 2005

  Provided technical support instrumental in the successful production of an adeno viral vector that contains an siRNA specific for knocking down an oncogenic fusion protein present in bone or soft tissue cancer. Optimized purification conditions for two oncogenic fusion proteins, valuable for the successful characterization of their corresponding associated proteins.Key Accomplishments: • Contributed to the successful creation of an adeno viral vector and its delivery pivotal to bone cancer research.• Lend technical support in the validation of adeno viral construct above via Western blotting and flow cytometry.
