LAB EXPERIENCE and SKILLS
Lab Assistant - Western Illinois University- Macomb, Illinois - 2003 to 2004
Cell Biology:
Performed experiments consisting of pH gradients, cell function
depending on the pH of different fluids and the procedure of
electrophoresis.
Genetics:
Created genetic experiments using Drosophila melanogaster and their
ability to mate with other flies producing mutations described by
Gregor Mendel and other famous geneticists.
Microbial Ecology:
Conducted ecological testing of different microorganisms from aquatic
and soil environments. Enrichment and isolation as well as detection
and quantifications of microorganisms from the environment.
Amplification of 16sRNA from community DNA using PCR and universal
16sRNA primers. Ribosomal database was used for further
identifications.
Immunology:
Performed tests on immunoserums and antibodies produced from rabbits.
The different tests used to observe antigens and antibodies;
immunoassay, Western Blot, and Eliza.
Organic Chemistry:
Performed a study of nomenclature, preparations, reactions, and
reaction mechanisms of functional groups of aliphatic and aromatic
compounds.
Biochemistry:
Gained experience in the chemistry of major cellular constituents and
their metabolism using a spectrophotometer to obtain the spectrums of
different solutions.
