03.2022 - Current
- Analyzed and interpreted large-scale metabolomics and transcriptomics data from overexpression cell lines covering the entire solute carrier (SLC) superfamily to identify novel SLC functionality and understand relationships between transport, metabolism and cellular physiology.
- Trained, supervised and managed a technical assistant; trained other lab members in techniques within my domain of expertise (metabolomics).
- Demonstrated commitment to continuous improvement by proactively developing coding and data analytical skills, and actively seeking feedback from team members.
- Simultaneously managed up to 3 different lines of investigation, optimizing resource allocation by prioritizing tasks based on scientific novelty and relevance to overall project goals.
- Leveraged consortium partners to develop and perform assays for specific investigations, and demonstrating a leadership role in these collaborations by actively following up on results and contributing to troubleshooting.
Postdoctoral Research Associate
Michigan State University
08.2016 - 07.2021
- Conducted investigations into metabolic differences between cell lines and mouse tumors of varying metastatic propensity, then independently developed and pursued own research direction focused on sialic acid metabolism.
- Implemented, optimized, and/or troubleshooted multiple new wet lab and data analytical techniques and workflows in the lab - establishing or improving over 50% of techniques commonly used in the lab.
- Published 3 first author research papers and contributed as second author to 4 other lab publications.
- Established research collaborations to multiple external groups (5 academic, 1 clinical, 1 industry).
- Contributed original ideas to and coauthored 6 grant submissions, of which 4 were funded including NIH R01.
- Mentored two undergraduate and two graduate students.
- Presented research findings at 5 conferences and 9 institutional seminars.
- Co-reviewed (with PI) 9 manuscripts for reputable scientific journals including Nature, Cancer Research and eLife.
