CAREER OBJECTIVESeeking a full-time bioscience technician position utilizing detail oriented problem solving skills to provide a genuine service to the public with tangible results

EDUCATION University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati OH GPA 3.0, Bachelor of Science, Bio-Chemistry – April 27, 2016

University of Cincinnati Department of Chemistry, Cincinnati OH Vladislav Alexander Litosh Group, Nucleic Acid Modification → May 11, 2015 – August 8, 2015

Capstone Research; developed thymidine nucleic acid analogue leads to advance MCF-7 chemotherapeutic research. Developed passive targeting DNA polymerase terminating moieties, products were validated by H1NMR and IC50 tested.

WORK EXPERIENCEUniversity of Cincinnati Department of Chemistry, Cincinnati OH

Patrick Limback Group, Biological Mass Spectrometry → 1 year of experience January 3, 2012 – April 27 2013 Undergraduate work study: assisted graduate students with their research Protein and RNA assays Certified by University of Cincinnati Health and Safety Services

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE Trained to perform routine protein and RNA assays

Analytes were isolated by centrifugal separations Concentrations were measured by spectrometry Analytes were sequenced and assayed for functional activity

Trained to modify thymidine to thymidine analogue by in vitro anabolic synthesis Hallmarks of MCF-7 were used to develop a motif that made DNA polymerase terminators more selective This motif was applied to thymidine to develop a lead for an effective DNA replication terminator Analogues were planned, synthesized, purified, verified by spectrometry, tested by IC50 cell studies
