    Jan 2022 - Current (4 years 7 months)
    As a researcher focused on replication stress induced by anti-tumor therapies, I utilized high-resolution microscopy and live cell imaging to detect and analyze the effects of various treatments. My work involved testing the cytotoxicity of Gemcitabine in pancreatic cancer, where I successfully identified replication stress levels using four distinct markers. I employed immunofluorescence techniques, including the conjugation of secondary antibodies, to enhance the accuracy of my findings. Additionally, I utilized flow cytometry to quantify cellular responses and applied my knowledge of molecular biology to interpret complex data. While managing a substantial volume of data, I leveraged Prisma Cloud for efficient file storage and collaborat

    High-throughput screening and tumor microenvironment
    M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
    Oct 2013 - Apr 2018 (4 years 7 months)
    Developed high-throughput screening and tumor microenvironment assays to study drug resistance in glioblastoma stem cells. This involved evaluating drugs used in other types of cancer for their efficacy against brain tumors, particularly due to the challenges posed by the blood-brain barrier. Employed high-throughput screening techniques to detect cytotoxic effects of these drugs on brain tumor stem cells, both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, characterized the brain tumor microenvironment through immunofluorescence to assess immune infiltration, providing valuable insights into the tumor's response to therapeutic targets. While software development and Microsoft 365 were not directly relevant to this role, the analytical skills gained f
