NanoView Biosciences

• United States
• Biotechnology Research
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Research Associate

  • Aug 2021 - May 2022

  Designed, iterated, and developed “LentiView” assay for local and international release using ExoView Imaging technologies to characterize Lentiviruses, engineered viruses, and retroviruses. Optimized assays to develop prototypes for a new imaging platform for successful detection and characterization of AAVs and molecules <50nm. • Successfully demo’ed newly released “LentiView” instruments, assays, and subpopulation software to Unchained Labs acquisition stakeholders and investors, leading to the acquisition of NanoView Biosciences by said stakeholders. • Increased cargo staining efficiency of Lentiviruses from <10% to 35-50% per standard Lentivirus sample through optimization of permeabilization techniques, allowing maximum permeabilization and minimum sample damage. • Optimized assays using nano-beads for the development of new imaging instruments to surpass size detection limits of particles in older instruments. • Blueprinted, beta-tested, and iterated subpopulation and colocalization analysis tools and successfully quantitated titer characteristics of virus samples and enhanced characterization of sample impurities in respective preps.

The Cady Lab at SUNY Polytechnic Institute CNSE

• Albany, NY

• Research Assistant

  • Mar 2019 - May 2021

  Pipetted and spotted 20+ antigens onto gold-grated chips and ran chip-based ELISA-like protocol on Lyme patient serum. Programmed Robot Spotter to create Lyme antigen spots on chips in protein-quartet variations. Obtained diagnosis metrics from Biobanks and Albany Medical Center to conduct biochip assay for cross-validation and analysis with clinical patient serum. Produced Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for lab protocols to guarantee experimental consistency across lab members’ work. Taught and supervised SOP to 2 incoming graduate students. • Increased antibody identification sensitivity from 50-70% for the Standard Two-Tiered Tests to 90% while maintaining 100% specificity using microarray assay of Lyme antigens on chips and Lyme (+) and (-) clinical patients’ serum to test and confirm assay efficacy • Designed, trained, and tested predictive machine learning algorithm to diagnose Lyme with 15 disease antigens across 31 clinical patients’ serum by employing LIBSVM and Scikit-learn python packages • Devised PCA and SVD algorithm to locate specific and effective Lyme antigens with 80% variance in (+) and (-) diagnosis results from Grating-Coupled Fluorescent Plasmonic images.
