LAB EXPERIENCE and SKILLS
Lab Assistant - Arizona State University - Phoenix, Arizona - 2003 to 2004
- Assisted a Ph.D. of Agricultural Microbiology with collecting data on nitrogen fixation in corn and soybean plots.
- Charted plot data for further analysis and to be incorporated into a scholarly research paper for conference presentations.
Cell Biology:
Performed experiments consisting of pH gradients, cell function depending on the pH of different fluids and the procedure of electrophoresis.
Genetics:
Created genetic experiments using Drosophila melanogaster and their ability to mate with other flies producing mutations described by Gregor Mendel and other famous geneticists.
Microbial Ecology:
Conducted ecological testing of different microorganisms from aquatic and soil environments. Enrichment and isolation as well as detection and quantifications of microorganisms from the environment. Amplification of 16sRNA from community DNA using PCR and universal 16sRNA primers. Ribosomal database was used for further identifications.
Immunology:
Performed tests on immunoserums and antibodies produced from rabbits. The different tests used to observe antigens and antibodies; immunoassay, Western Blot, and Eliza.
Organic Chemistry:
Performed a study of nomenclature, preparations, reactions, and reaction mechanisms of functional groups of aliphatic and aromatic compounds.
Biochemistry:
Gained experience in the chemistry of major cellular constituents and their metabolism using a spectrophotometer to obtain the spectrums of different solutions.
