Research Background Previous Projects Characterization of a Cadmium resistant Pseudomonas cepacia Development of sensitive PCR and RT-PCR assay for Cytomegalovirus Cloning of various fragments of DNA and cDNA for controls in PCR assays Subtractive cDNA libraries for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) and Cytomegalovirus Sequencing of Ribosomal RNA in MTB Isolation of Cryptic plasmids in Mycobacterium sp. In-house* development of PCR identification assay for Mycobacterium sp. Cloning of Aromatase promoter for investigation of tissue specific mechanisms of cancer In-house development of proliferation assay for detection of Estrogen like compounds RNA and Protein Macroarray assays for investigation of cancer causing and estrogen-like compounds Characterization of cell death in Chlamydia infected cells Future Interests I'm a biotechnology junkie. I enjoy developing and optimizing research techniques to answer important biological questions. *In-house refers to developing a technique to be used in the lab I'm currently with. Often, bringing a new technique into a lab that has never used it before has its own challenges. The devil is in the details :o)
