Doctor in Veterinary Medicine, I just finished my PhD in Biomedical Science and Technology at Institut Pasteur Korea where I have been working on the characterization of a novel far-red fluorescent reporter mouse strain (GFAP-E2crimson) for non-invasive in vivo quantification of neuroinflammation as well as on the development of new optical imaging technologies for non-invasive quantification of biological events cell-based systems, tissues, and living animals. Through my education and professional experiences, I have gained a variety of skills in animal experimentation, animal model characterization, in vivo optical imaging, immunohistochemistry, and innovative technology development. I am a highly versatile scientist with a problem-solving mindset empowered to further my career in a global environment where I can apply my versatility and my thirst for learning and challenges. World traveler, I am looking to join a multicultural and multidisciplinary team in which I can apply my high adaptability, and problem-solving mindset to further develop my career. I am looking for opportunities to expand my expertise in non-invasive small animal imaging methods.
