Sigma AldrichChemist
Jan. 2000 - Jan. 2002Developed and optimized assays to detect, quantitate and characterize viral agents (plaque assay, TCID 50, hemagglutination inhibition assay, indirect immunofluorescence assay, etc.) under GLP regulations for GLP studies. Developed and optimized assays to detect, quantitate and characterize immune response components (antibodies, cytokines, T cell proliferation, immunophenotyping, etc.). Supervised a GLP cell culture laboratory as a senior microbiologist for a major chemical and biological science supply company. Organized and executed numerous assay validation studies for both analytical and biological assays. Developed new and optimized existing assay techniques for quality control testing of cell culture products.

UTMBPhD Candidate
Jan. 1993 - Jan. 2000Conducted extensive studies to examine and elucidate pathogenic mechanisms involved in fulminant viral infections of animals as models of human disease. Developed and standardized assays to examine molecular processes involved in the pathogenesis and immunopathogenic processes of infection (elucidation of cellular and humoral immune response by flow cytometric methods, detection of gene regulation by microarray in response to viral infection, elucidation of cytokine response by flow cytometric bead array assay, examination of viral replication by immunohistochemistry, etc.) Identified pathological characteristics of four strains of Pichinde virus; an attenuated and virulent strain, and two reassortant viruses developed from the two naturally occurring strains. Conducted in vitro and in vivo experiments to elucidate the pathogenesis of the viral strains. Presented data at national meetings and published data in peer reviewed journals.
