  As a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Internal Medicine Department: I enabled investigators to study human cells in vivocoordinated by coordinating transfer of innovative new technology to Texas Tech University. My key accomplishment includes: • Studied transplantation of human stem cells (SC) into fetal mice followed by postnatal administration of streptozotocin (STZ), and reinfusion of same donor SCs to render the murine endocrine pancreas human.

• Post-Doctoral Research Associate, Vector Zoonoses Laboratory

  • Sep 2014 - Feb 2017

  As a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Vector Zoonoses Laboratory: I carried out several detailed research studies across the region with a focus on transmission of pathogens among local fauna. I championed surveillance of West Nice Virus (WNV) activity in Lubbock County. I planned and researched epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) in white-tailed deer. I also studied transmission dynamics of Oxyspirura petrowi (eyeworm) in quail, while researching the prevalence of Arbovirus infectious and zoonotic pathogens in northern bobwhite quail. I determined transmission dynamics and prevalence of zoonoses in feral swine. I maintained quality control for all testing kits sent to the field for sample collection. My key accomplishments include: • Expanded mastery over laboratory practices and investigative techniques. • Executed all fieldwork in accordance with established methods for collecting samples to ensure accurate analysis. • Enhanced efficiency of research efforts by authoring and updating standard reviewing operating procedures (SOPs). • Assigned tasks to staff and provided training to students required for authorization to work laboratory. • Collected valuable data and conclusions that resulted in the publication of findings within multiple scientific journals. • Enhanced efficiency of research efforts by authoring and updating standard reviewing operating procedures (SOPs).
