Scientist at VMRD Diagnostics, Zoetis (2023-08 – 2025-05)
- Contributed to the development of a multiplex point-of-care diagnostic assay project from the conceptualization and proof of concept, through Alpha verification and into Beta validation.
- Applied Design of Experiments (DOE) methodologies to systematically optimize assay conditions, ensuring robust performance with consideration to consumable design, leading to seamless system integration.
- Performed statistical analysis and interpretation of complex assay datasets using relevant tools to generate regulatory-compliant data packages and support validation under cGMP standards.
- Co-authored and reviewed SOPs, study reports, and documentation for USDA submissions.
Research Associate I, Assay Science at BioMarin (2021-08 – 2023-07)
- Performed routine and non-routine molecular testing procedures, including but not limited to vg titer determination and residual DNA levels of gene therapy products using ddPCR
- Participated in the iterative development of residual plasmid assays and automatic mRNA extraction methods
- Passaged and maintained in healthy condition a variety of cell lines, including C2C12, HepG2, and HepG2 KO
- Conducted MyBPC3 transductions and potency assessments via luciferase assays
- Carried out transgene PAH protein potency assays and field inversion gel electrophoresis for bacmid stability
Staff Research Associate II at Isacoff Lab, University of California, Berkeley (2019-09 – 2021-06)
- Studied extent of visual restoration using behavioral assays such as novel object exploration and light aversion
- Developed novel assays to detect visual function and optimized current assays
- Conducted dosing, pharmacokinetic, and efficacy studies
Student Research Associate at University of California, Davis (2014 – 2018)
- Extracted, purified, and separated proteins in concentration determination testing, applying polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Western Blot methods
- Analyzed protein and enzyme functions through immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and binding assays
- Studied and recorded tissue morphology, number of cells and localization of cell receptors using histological and immunohistological analyses
