Hi! I am Anushka! I started my journey in Life Sciences research, and now I've pivoted into recruitment, staying in the industry I love, but this time from a people-focused side. Currently, I'm working as a Talent Acquisition Coordinator at Attaineo, where we specialize in life sciences recruitment. I enjoy connecting with people, learning their stories, and helping match great talent with meaningful roles. Always happy to connect, whether you're exploring opportunities in life sciences, or just want to say hi! Thank you for stopping by!
I used genetic tools, molecular biology techniques, and fluorescence microscopy to study developmental processes in C. elegans. I independently designed and conducted wet lab experiments, followed good laboratory practices, and performed data analysis and statistical testing to interpret results. The role also involved preparing research presentations and sharing findings in departmental seminars, strengthening both my scientific communication and project management skills.
I facilitated student learning through lab instruction, experiment supervision, and one-on-one support. I guided students through molecular biology techniques and genetic experiments, helping them interpret results and troubleshoot issues. Additionally, I graded assignments, lab reports, and exams, and provided constructive feedback to support student development and academic success.
I conducted droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assays to assess infectivity in gene therapy samples. I was responsible for collecting and logging biological samples from the cell culture department, operating ddPCR instruments, and ensuring accurate data upload and documentation in SharePoint. I also managed general lab inventory, coordinated supply orders, and maintained a clean, GMP-compliant lab environment while supporting cross-functional quality control efforts in a regulated biopharma setting.
Provided front-line support to prospective international students through email, phone, and in-person inquiries. I guided students through the admissions process, booked appointments with country-specific counselors, and coordinated with internal departments regarding documentation such as I-20s. I also assisted with mailing admission packages, maintained student data records, and supported outreach events and orientation programs, contributing to a smooth and welcoming admissions experience.
