Operated multiple continuous reactors to assess the physiological effects in antibiotic-resistant bacteria following plasmid acquisition. • Devised workflow for pilot-scale reactors (Infors HT). • Optimized three research protocols. • Contributed innovative reactor design. • Enzymatic method development (biochemistry testing). • Expert troubleshooter for fermentation processes. • Data analysis in Python (MIC, kinetics, growth). • Created data visualization series (Python Seaborn). • Creative and intellectually challenging contributions.

DKFZ German Cancer Research Center | Dec 2016 - Aug 2017

Research Intern

Designed CRISPR plasmids to multiplex (simultaneously affect) knockdown or overexpression of genes involved in tumorigenesis. My attention to detail stimulated a collaborative and flexible work style. • Plasmid design using bioinformatics (SnapGene, Benchling). • Outstanding mammalian cell culture. • Proficient in several DNA/RNA manipulation techniques. • Expression profiling (RT-PCR). • Achieved viral-vector modification (transfection). • Functional cellular assays (proliferation, cytotoxicity and gene reporter). • Skillful at flow cytometry and western blot (FluorChem, ChemiDoc). • Recognized for the ability to follow up on hypotheses and remarkable teamwork.

Centrum für Biomedizin und Medizintechnik Mannheim | Oct 2016 - Dec 2016

Research Intern

analyze their role during tumor progression by induction of RNAi and posterior analysis of histological sections by confocal microscopy. • Studied gene expression (GAL4/UAS system). • Dissection techniques and immunohistology (Drosophila). • Masterly creation of histological sections (Leica LSM SP5). • Translation of confocal microscopy imagery into molecular insights. • Reliable and proactive. Need for minimal training.

Université de Sherbrooke | May 2015 - Aug 2015

Research Intern

Designed CRISPR plasmids to knockdown/overexpress Caspase-7, a critical protein during apoptosis. Such designs were used in a subsequent PhD project. Delivered good reporting between different teams. • Designed and carried cloning strategy. • Gained experience in mammalian cell culture. • Assessing knockdown/overexpression with western blot.

University of Arizona | May 2014 - Aug 2014
