I am currently doing animation jobs for free to expand my portfolio.
Emergence Game
For fun: change the background and create emergent structures.
Research Experience
Post-baccalaureate researcher with a First Class Honours BSc in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology and more than three years of continuous wet-lab experience spanning molecular cloning, CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering, and single-molecule imaging. Seeking a research assistant role supporting high-throughput screening of computationally designed protein and RNA libraries and genome engineering toward clinical translation.
Education
BSc Honours, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology
University of Alberta · Sept 2021 – Apr 2025
First Class Standing · GPA 3.7 · Certificate of Research in Biological Sciences. Extensive undergraduate research record with emphasis on genetics, developmental biology, and cell biology.
Molecular Biology
PCR, qPCR, molecular cloning and plasmid construction (Gibson, Golden Gate, conventional), DNA/RNA extraction, RNase-free sample handling (RNaseZap), gel electrophoresis, Western and Southern blotting, and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing.
Sequencing & Bioinformatics
NGS library preparation and sequencing on Illumina platforms; analysis in R and Python; ImageJ, CellProfiler, and Cellpose.
Strains & Cell Systems
Generation and maintenance of engineered strains in budding yeast, C. elegans, and mammalian cell lines; endogenous tagging with GFP and HaloTag; optogenetic control of protein interactions using CRY2; bacterial and viral handling.
Protein Work
Large-scale protein purification by HPLC and FPLC, electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) for protein–nucleic acid and intrinsically disordered region interactions, and immunoblotting.
Microscopy
Confocal, widefield, spinning-disc, FRAP, single-particle tracking, and super-resolution microscopy on Leica SP8 and ZEISS Elyra 7 systems.
Interests
Scientific questions and systems I keep coming back to.
