  As Director of Proteome Research

  I focused on application of the dynamic proteomics technology. I worked with business partners to design and carryout research projects which helped them advance their goals at all stages of pharmaceutical development

  preclinical and clinical.

  Director of Proteomic Research

  KineMed

  Project: Investigating the conversion process of mammalian prion protein

  specifically the biological and mechanical factors that influence strain fidelity. Developed technique for measurement of in vivo protein turnover on a proteome wide scale. As principle investigator won $200

  000 in competitive research grants. \nResponsibilities: Responsible for the design

  implementation and management of several research projects. Obtain independent funding to support research effort. Coordinate the efforts of multiple specialists who contributed to specific aspects of projects. Supervise and direct the work of multiple trainees and volunteers.

  Doctoral Research

  Project: Elucidated the mechanism of oxygen activation during the mechanism of Fe-dependent non-heme dioxygenases. Captured the novel high valent iron species responsible for hydrogen atom abstraction. \nResponsibilities: Developed and carried out synthetic routes to novel enzyme substrates. Designed transient kinetic experiments to observe and capture the novel intermediates accumulating during enzymatic turnover. Develop and use bacterial over expression system for protein production. Purification of recombinant protein.\n\nSkills\nInstrumentation: stopped-flow
