My Work Experience

Where I've interned and worked during my career.

UConn School of Nursing | Nov 2019 - Jul 2022

Laboratory Technician II -Lab Manager

The Biobehavioral Research Laboratory opened its installations to support the research of different faculty at the School of Nursing at UConn in 2019. My main achievement was obtaining the permit to function as a CORE lab, submitting all initial documentation to the office of cost analysis, preparing budgets, setting up a billing procedure, and developing SOP for different aspects of the laboratory's daily routines. I implemented the laboratory by acquiring equipment for sample analysis and processing, from searching, purchasing, and installing to maintaining specialized equipment for molecular biology applications. I have developed SOP for collecting, transporting, and processing biological samples for more than ten projects, as well as keeping inventories of all collected and processed samples. Finally, I have performed and trained collaborators in sample analysis using DNA or RNA extraction, PCR, SNP genotyping, and ELISA assays.

Graduate Research Student

Synthesis of peptides with possible antimicrobial activities using a solid-phase method. Purification and characterization of peptides through HPCL and Mass chromatography to validate the peptide synthesis. Analysis of peptide’s antimicrobial activities by different techniques such as MIC, Flow Cytometry, and DNA cleavage assays to elucidate their possible mechanism of action.

Summer PIE Fellow at UConn Health

Annotation and curation of published mathematical models of biological processes from different databases, after importing them in Virtual Cell software; by researching in related publications to models and other scientific databases to increase the informational value of the models. Creation of ModelBricks (small, well-annotated, and curated models) based on more complex models using Virtual Cell software. Contribute in the publication of the Project ModelBrick trough out the creation of a web-page http://modelbricks.org/ using GitHub repositories. Creation of wiring diagrams in SBGN language of biological processes using different biological tools available for SBGN diagram design, to expand the available resources of ModelBricks projects. Contribute with Annotation of Previously created wiring maps of metabolic pathways published at https://metabolismregulation.org/ using different biological software for diagrams design such as Vanted and yED.
