WORK Lonza Biologics, Portsmouth, New Hampshire 2016-present EXPERIENCE Associate Scientist, Process Technology
• Developed new downstream purification process operations • Executed Research and Technology protocols, experiments, and evaluations • Identified purification initiations for mammalian bioprocesses and evaluated feasibility • Developed novel mammalian purification improvements by avidly participating in
technical and scientific meetings
Cote Lab, Durham, New Hampshire Undergraduate Researcher 2014 – 2016
Faculty Mentor: Professor Rick Cote Senior Thesis: Use of Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors as Potential Nematicides Optimized expression and purification of recombinant PDE proteins via affinity and
gel-filtration chromatography Utilized purified PDE proteins for pharmacological study – measured changes in enzyme
rate when complexed with different inhibitors (measuring cAMP hydrolysis using radio isotope 3H)
Awarded a 2015 UNH Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship
EnviroLogix, Portland, Maine Summer Intern: New Technology Development Group 2013 and 2014
Cloned novel polymerase, nickase subunit, MMLV Reverse Transcriptase and a Taq polymerase into expression vectors and transformed E. coli host cells
Initiated cultures, optimized expression and purified the recombinant proteins for use in DNAble, a novel isothermal amplification system
Utilized restriction endonucleases and gel electrophoresis for DNA analysis Operated Bio-Rad NGC Discover FPLC system Utilized the BioRad Experion and SDS-PAGE for protein analysis Learned DNAble isothermal amplification assay design for oligo-primers and beacon Listed on Patent Application in preparation; DNA polymerase purification and function in
amplification technologies for DNAble
Peer-Led Team Learning, Durham, New HampshireChemistry Tutor 2013-2014
Led small groups of students in a whiteboard review session Promoted student discussion and teamwork to solve general/organic chemistry problems
