Career objective
Looking for a challenging position of the Grant Writer Resume the reputed University with a view to use my wide experience for the benefit of the organization.
I am an enthusiastic cell, biochemistry and molecular biologist with 12 years experience in both academic and industrial settings and I also review Grants for the NHS. I was also involved in setting up collaborations between Pfizer (Veterinary Medicine Department) and Universities or companies through the Academic Liaison group. I am a scientific proof reader for a translation agency (English to French).
TECHNICAL SKILLS
Molecular and cell biology, biochemistry:
Extensive cell culture experience (mammalian and insect cells) including primary culture (isolation of rat osteoclasts, mice keratinocytes, rat myoblast and sheep epithelium lung cells) and development of immortalised cell lines by transfection
ELISAs, apoptosis assay, cell-based assay (beta-lactamase, ATP), bac-to-bac baculovirus expression system, immunohistochemistry and in-situ hybridization
RNAi in a well-established cell line and a primary cell model
All commonly used techniques for isolation and manipulation of RNA, DNA
Protein purification, Western gels and stopped-flow technique
Real-time quantitative PCR (TaqMan)
Screening of compounds
Bioinformatics:
Interrogation of microarray data using Genespring and Pfizer tools
Application of biological and bio-informatics techniques to drug discovery, including:
- Target identification (GeneSpring, automated text-mining of literature, Pfizer tools)
MS Office competent
Interpersonal and Communication skills:
Eager and focused team member
Experienced in supervising students in laboratories
Experienced in setting up collaboration between scientific groups
Experienced presenter at meetings and international conferences
Organiser of an international conference and heavily involved in two EMBO workshops while working at the University of at
Effective communication skills developed through my work and research environment
Successful prioritisation and working under pressure in most of my recent posts.
QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE
November 2010 to present: Cell biologist, Pfizer (via SRG)
-I am currently working on the screening of compounds on LAD2 cells in the aim to find some SYK inhibitors.
January 2010 to October 2010: on maternity leave
July 2007 to December 2009 Molecular and cell Biologist, Pfizer (via SRG)
- I developed a way of identifying drug targets from microarray’s data using Pfizer tools and established and validated an RNAi screen within the Veterinary Medicine Department.
- I then moved to the Therapeutic Area of Allergy and Respiratory where I set up a cell pausing project and worked on the role of adenosine receptor A2b in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. I have purifyied some FC(R1-( protein (following the cloning and transfection of FC(R1-( receptor plasmid into HEK293 cells) in order to produce enough material for the Biotherapeutics group and an external collaborator.
-I have also worked on a project that aims to clone the p85 and p110 subunits of the PI3K into a baculovirus system which will be followed by a transfection into insect cells and purification of the protein.
- I have been involved with the Biotherapeutics group in some of their RNAi work.
- I was involved in setting up collaborations between Pfizer and Academic laboratories or companies. My responsibility was to find projects which could be linked to the Veterinary Medicine Department in order to set up Industrial Partnership and/or to sponsor students. I have set up a project for one MSc student at the University of and she will carry on her project as part of a PhD program in September
October 2006- May 2007 Researcher, Newcastle University
- Invited to return to Newcastle to continue a project and supervise a PhD student.
(Research on the adsorption of silicon nanoparticles on different cancer cells).
December 2002- September 2006 Translational Oncology Laboratories, Cancer
Research UK, London
- Worked for 3 years on UV-B induced skin cancer using a mouse model as well as working on human biopsies.
- Promoted as a Senior Scientific Officer to install, budget and manage a new laboratory. My duties were to participate in a programme of experimental research as well as to assist with the day to day running of the Research Group, in particular:
- To perform experiments using molecular biology techniques and biochemistry, to assist in record keeping, data management, to provide technical input for the development, refinement and troubleshooting of relevant methodologies and to provide training to graduate students and others.
October 1999- November 2002 Research Associate, Department of Biosciences, University of, UK
- Study of the kinetics of smooth muscle myosin.
October 1998-September 1999 Research Associate Department of Rheumatology, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK
- Analysis of metalloproteinases in cartilage and bone explants culture.
1995- 1998 PhD student, University of Newcastle upon Tyne
“Role of free radicals in bone physiology”. Departments of Chemistry and Clinical Biochemistry
1994-1998: MSc Student, University of Newcastle upon Tyne
- MSc in Biosensors
Interests
I particularly enjoy travelling around the world to discover new cultures, new cooking dishes and meeting new people. I practise tai-chi, yoga, Egyptian dance and body combat. I am also very interested in Japanese art and especially Japanese gardens.
