RELEVANT COURSEWORK
Quantitative Chemical Analysis
● Used analytical balances, pipettes, and flasks to prepare standards of precisely known
concentration.
● Utilized Excel for data analysis, linear regression, and generating graphs and calibration
curves.
● Performed accurate and precise measurement of various chemical species in a variety of
samples using gravimetric, titrimetric, potentiometric, spectroscopic, and
chromatographic methods.
Biochemistry
● Developed knowledge of protein function including synthesis, folding and degradation.
● Utilized standard biochemical techniques to study enzyme kinetics.
● Extracted, isolated and purified E. coli sample including the use of techniques such as
SDS­PAGE, Western and Eastern Blotting, protein and enzyme assay and gel filtration.
● Improved written and oral communication skills via poster presentation on purifying
Alkaline Phosphatase from E. coli.
Microbiology
● Implemented ​laboratory techniques in the isolation, cultivation, observation and
identification of microbes, especially bacteria.
● Apply theoretical knowledge about microbiology to practical problems, including
inhibiting and cultivating microbial growth.
● Learned how to collect, interpret and analyze lab data both qualitatively and
quantitatively.
