Graduate Science Coursework Completed:

- Microbiology 714: Microbial Metabolic Regulation

- Biotechnology 510: Core Technologies in Molecular and Cellular Biology

- Biotechnology 566: Animal Cell Culture

Through these courses I have obtained significant experience in evaluating primary research as well as hands-on technical skills. I also have intimate knowledge of clinical skills from my time spent working as a clinical aide in the doctor's office. The most relevant skill learned in that environment was the importance and proper use of aseptic technique. Furthermore, in my Biotechnology 510 and 566 lab courses I learned the following technical skills:

• PCR Cloning
• DNA transformation
• Protein purification (affinity chromatography)
• SDS-PAGE gel running
• Electrophoresis gel running
• Expression and quantification of fusion protein
• DNA sequencing
• Animal Cell Culture Transformation
• Animal Cell Culture Propagation and Maintenance
• Cell Culture Freezing

Many of these skills can be seen in the lab manual I have posted as a pdf below
