After 2 and half years as the Bioinformatics Supervisor at UNH-HCGS , I accepted a position as Assistant Professor of Biology at Texas A&M International University (TAMIU)in Laredo Texas. A medium sized, dynamically growing teaching /research university. Since then, I established a brand new Molecular Biology Laboratory with a start up fund of $185,000. The Lab is operational as of January 2018.
While the lab was under renovation and being furnished with research equipment, I developed two proposals:
The first proposal won my first internal grant [$10,000].
My second proposal was selected to be one of two MRI proposals to be sent to NSF representing the institutional grant from TAMIU.
