Adept at using advanced microbiological equipment and ensuring high standards of quality control. Looking for a challenging position in a reputable lab to apply expertise, collaborate with skilled professionals. EducationUniversity of New Orleans New Orleans, LABS in Biological Sciences Graduated May 2023Relevant Courses Cell and Molecular Biology I, II General Chemistry I, II Organic Chemistry I, II Physics I, II Neurobiology Virology Nutrition Population Genetics, Evolution and Ecology General Ecology Intro to Environmental Science Dynamic Earth (Geology) Conservation Biology Biology of Fishes Ocean and Society Ocean and Climate ChangeRelevant Work HistoryNight Shift SupervisorIEH Laboratories & Consulting Group - Gaffney, SC Same duties as below as well as: Training new employees to consistently and accurately perform lab procedures according to SOPs. Performing internal vertical audits to ensure that samples are being run according to SOP. Communicating with clients, especially in the event of delayed results or unexpected testing results. Maintaining live bacterial colonies used in QC testing. Troubleshooting, calibrating, and performing verifications on lab equipment such as pipettes, thermalcyclers, autoclaves. Minor IT troubleshooting when necessary. Performing QC tests on new batches of lysis and taq. Inventory management: Ordering new stock of lab materials as needed. Receiving new materials and inputting them into a digital system for tracking. Checking over all lab paperwork for accuracy and completeness before entering it into our digital filing system.Lab AnalystIEH Laboratories & Consulting Group - Gaffney, SC Testing food products including produce, raw meat, and ready to eat foods for foodborne pathogens (e.coli, salmonella, listeria). Maintaining an aseptic environment and following procedures that minimize the chance of cross contamination at all times, such as using gloves, lab coats, and autoclaves. Spraying hands and any equipment used in testing with 70% isopropyl alcohol before starting, and after finishing any step in the procedure. Avoiding touching the insides of any tubes or sample bags. Decontaminating surfaces with a 10% bleach solution after each step in the procedure. Running qualitative testing by conducting PCR tests from start to finish by utilizing the following process: aliquoting the correct amount of sample into microcentrifuge tubes; selecting the correct lysis for the corresponding test and accurately pipetting 2 microliters of aliquot from the tubes into corresponding lysis tubes; running the lysis tubes through the correct program on the thermalcycler; using a multi-channel pipette to then transfer 25 microliters from the lysis tubes into tubes containing taq beads; running the taq tubes through the correct program in the thermalcycler; loading the samples into an agarose gel in an electrophoresis gel box using a multi-channel pipette; monitoring the gel as it runs through electrophoresis so that it runs nearly to the end of - but not off of - the gel; digitally photographing the gel using a transilluminator; accurately interpreting the banding that appears on the finished gels. Running quantitative testing by plating samples on microfilms, pour plates and petri films and accurately counting any colonies that grow. Accurately entering results into LIMS followed by sending out Certificates of Analysis to clients, certifying that testing has been completed to FDA regulations and results can be guaranteed. Performing environmental monitoring via daily swabbing of lab surfaces which are then enriched, allowed to incubate, and tested via PCR or Microfilm. Making the enrichment media required for various lab procedures. Quality testing of finished media by pH testing and creating a positive and negative sample of each batch to be tested via PCR or Microfilm. This ensures that our media is not already contaminated and that it is capable of growing bacteria if it is present. |
