• Research Assistant

  • May 2004 - Sep 2005

  Conducted and analyzed experiments to understand the process of membrane biogenesis and molecular mechanism underlying lysosome/phagosome fusion. * Developed a membrane biogenesis assay to examine the regulation of newly synthesized membrane through the transcriptional regulation by sterol regulated binding element proteins. * Designed an in vitro scintillation proximity assay to indentify the components and requirements of lysosome/phagosome fusion. * Conducted fluorescence microscopy on macrophage lysosome/phagosome internalization assay to examine the role of actin and calcium dynamicson vesicular fusion * Cultured several cell lines for biochemical and microscopic assays, generated and produced adenoviruses, assisted with the management of laboratory materials and mentoring of undergraduate research students.
