Senior Associate Scientist

The high throughput screening group is responsible for generating and evaluating strains for the production of high value renewable molecules. We use automated liquid handling robots to run experiments and assays in 96 well micro-titer plate format. My contributions to the group include: Use of various programs and tools to provide statistically significant decisions for strain evaluation, automation quality control, and assay development including: R, SQL, Spotfire, JMP, and Minitab. Collaborate with the scientific computing group to investigate and troubleshoot data and database issues. Contributing member of the internal coding and algorithm group. I presented tutorials on R programming, statistical concepts, relevant work, and personal projects. Project coordinator for screening and analytics capabilities. Served as a point of contact to align groups by coordinating meetings, relaying information, tracking work progress across different analytical groups, and providing guidance to the project. Worked on different teams to deliver new screening capabilities including: development of a xylose sugar enzymatic assay, and an assay designed to measure the metabolic flux of the farnesene pathway by using glucose labeled with carbon 13 isotope. Lead project to develop a kinetic assay measuring the growth rate of strains. I performed all aspects of the project life cycle including: project plan writing and proposal, research, design, and execution of experiments, analysis of results, and reporting. Operations and management of a mutagenesis pipeline. Evaluated strains, tracked and promoted top performing strains to large scale screening platforms. Managed a robust, multi-assay pipeline for two years. Responsibilities included scheduling and collaborating with requestors, lab operations, data qc and analysis, troubleshooting, and reporting.
