| Experience: |
Graduate Research Assistant, Aug 2003 - Present
Graber Laboratory,
The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME
Biomolecular Engineering Research Center (BMERC), Boston, MA
Current development on the PolyA Cleavage Site and 3' UTR
database (PACdb) and specifically studying the role of alternate
polyadenylation in post-transcriptional gene processing.
Bioinformatics Graduate Intern, May 2003 to Aug 2003 Graber Laboratory, The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME Developed a software suite to locate 3' processing sites using EST (Expressed Sequence Tags) to genome alignment in Arabidopsis thaliana. Bioinformatics Research Assistant, Fall 2001 to Summer 2002 Batzerlab at LSU ,Baton Rouge,LA Helped build and maintain lab website and designed database for storing ALU mobile elements for lab Bioinformatics Programmer, Summer 2001 Syngenta Biotech Inc. ,Research Triangle Park, Raleigh, NC Collaborated with Plant Biologist and database experts to collect project specifications to help identify genes required for viability at seedling stage of Arabidopsis Developed a web-based form using PERL/CGI to allow biologists to interact with complex merged tables in Oracle and retrieve genes using search forms. Developed web form to pull thousands of records from database in fast, efficient manner. Math Tutor,Nov 98- May 2002 LSU Department of Academic Success, Baton Rouge, LA Assisted college students understand concepts in mathematics in calculus, differential equations, statistics and probability Theory. |
