▪ Powered productivity by leading the execution of trials for the Leukemia research team, planned and tracked all assigned clinical activity in each phase of the startup ▪ Subject matter expert and point of contact for external clients, producing and delivering reports to key stakeholders ▪ Admin for Benchling LIMS system, created templates and workflows, streamlined database schemas, and developed in-house inventory for consumables ▪ Presented study progress to the senior manager of Clinical Development Operations weekly ▪ Collected, completed, and updated study-specific case report data forms electronically and ensured accessioned patients reports were correct and routinely monitored for any discrepancies ▪ Frequently verified study procedures are performed within the protocol-specified window and follow agreed SOPs ▪ Worked with in-vitro samples and in-vivo mouse samples in preparation for clinical trials ▪ Conducted western blot and Fluorescence-activated Cell Sorting experiments to confirm the success of small molecule compound
▪ Scaled production of lentivirus produced in medium-scale batches (1-10L), conducted purification & endotoxin testing ▪ Streamlined Benchling LIMS system and assisted in developing the Sapio Sciences LIMS system ▪ Incorporated expert cell culture experience to accomplish high throughput, quality profile screens from BSL-2 samples, processed ~4-50 patient samples weekly, isolated and purified DNA, prepared libraries, and tracked trends ▪ Executed the design of experiments and proved an acceptable range to support assay design by validating the experiment through repeatability and reproducibility ▪ Contributed to identifying a high-value clinical target, in-licensed a clinical-stage drug, and filed an IND that the FDA approved for clinical trials ▪ Troubleshoot assays to identify new drug discovery targets in patients with leukemia using CRISPR-CAS9 ▪ Developed a Western blot/FACS-based assay to determine the small molecule drug compound’s success in inhibiting target protein both downstream and upstream ▪ Collaborated with multiple hospitals and research sites to build on the internal computation data for FDA submission and support early-stage (Pre-clinical) development data ▪ Implemented reagent inventory tracking, maintained lab equipment, scheduled services, and built company biobank ▪ Utilized Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), NGS, qPCR technology to process and analyze samples using a variety of programs to present findings to the team and board of directors ▪ Frequently used NovoCyte Flow Cytometer, FlowJo, Prism, gel electrophoresis, Illumina MiniSeq and NextSeq, Tapestation, Notion, Smartsheets, Quartzy, DepMap, Spotfire, excel, etc. to complete daily experiments
▪ Quality control testing of proteins, antibodies, a variety of kits, reagents, and buffers for both GMP and reagent grade ▪ Performed experiments on recombinant proteins and antibodies against multiplex immunoassays, ELISAs, and/or functional bioassays, through the use of proliferation, cytokine production, cytotoxicity, chemotaxis, enzymatic, adhesion, binding, alkaline phosphatase, luciferase (TOPFlash) ▪ Frequently isolated Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells from human blood, magnetic cell separation using antibody-conjugated nanobeads from Mojosort kits, and harvests fetal mouse skin fibroblast and Balb/C mouse splenocytes ▪ Organized QC entries in Filemaker and delegated high-priority assays to associates along with preparing submitted samples for ease of finding ▪ Facilitated open communication and collaborated with team scientist, lead, and production team to confirm tested products pass specifications ▪ Edited and updated SOPs on Smartsolve after QC testing was completed to ensure test results were consistent and corresponded to documents submitted by the production team; older protocols were also reevaluated to reflect any changes in product formulation ▪ Utilized Softmax Pro software and analyzed data using GraphPad Prism ▪ Incorporated previous tissue culture skills to care for a variety of cell lines such as L929, BCL-1, RAW.264.7, HUVEC, HT-2, TF-1, NIH/3T3, ATDC5, D10.G4.1, Bafs transfected cells, M07e, etc. ▪ Member of the Internal Inspection Committee and schedules monthly audits for all teams at Biolegend
▪ Produced well-crafted monoclonal antibodies, obtained from hybridoma cell lines, directed against a broad range of mammalian and non-mammalian protein targets for clients ▪ Ensured antibodies being produced match their target epitope by taking microarray samples throughout production and testing for isotopes of interest ▪ Troubleshoot clones until the desired isotope is achieved and the final product becomes western blot positive ▪ Prevented contamination and minimized bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma by having excellent sterile technique; mycoplasma supernatant samples were collected throughout growth, and in-house testing was performed to ensure cells were well below contaminant levels ▪ Upheld sterility risk management to prevent contamination ▪ Updated database with the new location for freeze-down samples, made from clones, into cryogenic containers. In addition, I was trained to work with liquid nitrogen and dry ice. ▪ Microscope and assigned actions in filmmaker for clones in production daily, ~100-200 clones ▪ High-throughput manufacturing involved producing 10 to 20 liters per clone, which were then purified before being sent to clients.
