  WWU Behavioral Neuroscience Program

  Jul 2013 - Dec 2014

  Performed transcardial perfusion operations, brain tissue preservation, fine sectioning of delicate tissues, and in situ hybridization in a lab specializing in effects of AAV-Cre/loxP-induced GRIN1 knockout in mice. Trained and assessed performance on cognitive and behavioral tasks. Collaborated to plan future research directions. Educated new lab members and members of the community. Received hands-on training in microdialysis, HPLC, PCR, and stereotactic brain surgery. Created personalized strategies for improving writing at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Identified areas in which improvements would be useful, ranked the importance of the proposed changes, and tutored students to identify, prioritize, and effectively achieve such modifications. Contributed to regional pedagogical meetings. Managed appointments and maintained appointment database. Attended a one-year long training seminar. Aided in teaching neuroscience topics to a class of 30 high school students in a short, credited college course. Assisted students with brain anatomy, physiology, and the sheep brain dissection process. Explained and discussed a variety of neurobiological health conditions.

  Computational Biologist

  Deeply involved in planning, coordinating, and executing precision medicine projects with a variety of focuses including algorithm validation and reproducibility, RNAseq pipeline development and maintenance, machine learning pipelining, technical writing and editing, and training of staff and doctoral candidates. Contributed to the development of machine learning pipelines that use omic data to predict cellular phenotypes (i.e. drug sensitivity, transcription factor activity) for use in precision oncology. Supported tumor boards and clinical trials. Competently liaised among highly diverse multidisciplinary teams focused on advanced biomedical and computational subjects.For this role I programmed primarily in Python 3 and used R, bash, java, javascript, HTML, CSS, and LaTeX as needed.
