Research Intern

AROA Biosurgery- Research Intern
11.2023 - 02.2024
  • Running experiments in a PC2 laboratory. Trained on GLP, ISO and GMP/GDP. As this was a medical devices company, the maintenance of documents and equipment was quite strict, so I’ve learnt good habits on always logging and documenting processes.
  • I did maintenance of D551, PC12 and HeLa cell lines, includes splitting and seeding them into 24-well plates. Did an Immunoassay for these cell lines. Efficiency in excel and GraphPad for statistical analysis.
  • Testing antibiotics on pathogens
  • Enzymatic digest assay, time series experiment where I was dedicated and came in on the weekends to take measurements.
  • Research reports and contribution to future papers/publications.
  • Developed a software that counts cells, machine learning through python platform.
  • Supporting the research scientists and helping them with their work.
  • Established strong relationships with suppliers/vendors to improve procurement efficiency for essential materials components.
  • Implemented continuous improvement initiatives within the engineering team to optimize workflow efficiencies.

Laboratory Demonstrator/ Assistant

University of Auckland
01.2023 - 12.2023
  • Demonstrating experiments to students and aiding with their understanding. Correcting their lab techniques such as spectrometer use.
  • Immunology, histology, and microbial community/infection lessons
  • Collecting pathogen samples from plants and testing. Gel electrophoresis, Flow cytometry and antibody staining. Doing ELISA assays.
  • Invigilated the pre-med courses: BIOSCI106 (biochemistry), BIOSCI203 (Stage 2 Biochemistry) BIOSCI107 (Biomedical Science) and CHEM110 (organic chemistry) tests/exams.
  • Understood how to act according to university values and code of conduct.
  • Maintained a clean and organized laboratory environment conducive to efficient workflow and productive learning experiences for students.
  • Contributed to curriculum development efforts by providing input from a practical perspective, enhancing the relevance of course material to real-world applications.
  • Enhanced laboratory safety by conducting regular equipment maintenance and calibration checks.
  • Provided mentorship to students, fostering a supportive learning environment that encouraged curiosity and critical thinking skills.
  • Oversaw the training of new lab assistants, consistently maintaining high standards for professionalism and competence among staff members.
