Responsible for the performance of cellular- and molecular-based assays in support of the manufacture and testing of therapeutic agents and biological products under GMP conditions. Develop, execute, and qualify assays, including immunoassays, cell based assays, and other analytical and virology techniques.

Serve as administrator of analytical instrumentation systems, develop and execute instrument validation plans, carry out method transfers and feasibility studies, train and supervise technical staff, and give oral presentations for industry, internal training, and client reviews.

Developed a business plan for Mouse Genotype LLC, performed a break-even analysis, and established a semi-automated laboratory process for high-quality, economical mouse genotyping.

Built an internet portal (website) for the business (www.MouseGenotype.com) and started to offer mouse genotyping services to academic as well as industrial clients.

As Senior Scientist my job was to identify possible new ventures and develop them into services. To this end, I built a mouse genotyping service businessfrom scratch (www.MouseGenotyping.com). I created and optimized the laboratory process, developed the business model, and ran every aspect of the business, from receiving new orders and running the laboratory, to analyzing results and creating reports for clients.

As QA/QC manager I provided all requirements for AABB and ISO (9001:17025) regulations. This included the writing and managing of hundreds of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the maintenance of multiple regulatory documents. I managed multiple audits from outside vendors and most importantly developed all required systems to satisfy any issues identified in a quick and efficient manner.

As a post-doc, I worked on the molecular genetics and epigenetics of human disease, in particular Rett Syndrome. I performed microarray experiments and identified genes whose expression was altered in diseased cells (worked published).

Other pursuits included: mouse colony management, cell culture, tissue isolation, grant writing, qPCR, Northerns, Westerns, and cloning.

As QA manager I provided all requirements for GLP regulations. This included the writing and managing of hundreds of standard operating procedures (SOPs) and the maintenance of multiple regulatory documents, in particular qualification documents (IQ/OQ/PQ). I managed multiple audits from outside vendors and most importantly developed all required systems to satisfy any issues identified in a quick and efficient manner.

As Scientific Advisor my job was to identify possible new business opportunities and write grants in response to RFPs. In addition I provided technical support to the sales department, being instrumental in the acquisition of contracts worth over $500,000.

As a post-doc, I worked on the molecular genetics of muscle development, cell cycle control, and cancer development. I performed microarray experiments and identified genes whose expression was altered during muscle cell differentiation (worked published). I also cloned constructs to generate KO mice.

Other pursuits included: MD/PhD student supervision, mouse colony management, cell culture, tissue isolation, grant writing, qPCR, Northerns, Westerns, and cloning.
