      Jun 2023 - Feb 2024
      Graduate Research And Teaching Assistant

      As a Research and Teaching Assistant, my responsibilities included conducting rigorous experiments, optimizing PCR protocols, and analysing the resulting data to contribute valuable insights to the molecular diagnosis of typhoid. This hands-on experience not only deepened my understanding of molecular biology but also sharpened my technical skills in a research-intensive environment. In addition to that, I assisted my supervisor in preparing lecture slides for Biochemistry and Biotechnology courses, evaluated student performance by grading quizzes, assignments, and exams, and provided feedback to facilitate improvement. I also supported administrative tasks by maintaining schedules, organising materials, and maintaining records of student progress to ensure efficient operation of courses. Show less
