Technical Skills:

• Executed a variety of laboratory techniques, including serological and molecular diagnostics (ELISA, PCR, NGS, immunohistochemistry, DNA/RNA extraction), mammalian cell culture (CHO and HEK293), including passaging, viability assays, transfections, and optimization for high expression yields, as well as the preparation of high-quality plasmid DNA.
• Supported research and disease control by developing and testing vaccines, monitoring efficacy and quality, managing cryostorage facilities, and keeping laboratory instruments up to standard.

Analytical skills:

• Conducted epidemiological studies to study and monitor disease spread, risk factors, and transmission dynamics, as well as identifying effective control and eradication techniques.
• Analysed data set using computational and statistical tools (Python, R, Stata, ArcGIS, SQL), to support decision-making.

Organisational Skills:

• Planned, led, and coordinated sample collection from disease-affected sites.
• Conducted rodent husbandry, breeding, welfare in accordance with project permits.
• Arranged for laboratory procurements and resource management as well as scheduling instrument calibrations, and equipment maintenance.

Communication skills:

• Mentored and trained junior research staff, veterinary students on laboratory procedures, safety protocols and equipment use, improving team capability.
• Disseminated scientific knowledge through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations

Technical skills:

• · Operated advanced systems such as IDEXX analyzers, VITEK 2, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), and Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy (SLO) to support patient monitoring, disease diagnosis, and treatment planning.

Analytical Skills:

• · Using ocular imaging and laboratory findings, I identified patterns and tracked disease progress contributing to evidence-based clinical practice.

Organisational Skills:

• · Assist with daily clinical support tasks, ensuring smooth delivery of results and workflow across the hospital.

Communication skills:

• · Supervised and mentored veterinary and nursing students during clinical rotations.

Technical skills:

• Became Proficient in performing wide range of molecular techniques such as DNA/RNA extraction, PCR, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) as well as immunoassays such as ELISA, immunohistochemistry, mammalian cell culture (CHO, HEK293), microbial culture and staining, antimicrobial susceptibility testing with VITEK2, tissue sectioning for histology, also shadowed in human genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9 and recombinant DNA cloning.
• Assisted in operations such as reagent preparation, stock management and equipment calibration.

Analytical Skills:

• supported cancer research projects through data analysis of results using statistical and computational tools such as SPSS, Python, R, SQL, ArcGIS

Organisational skills:

• Coordinated biological specimen reception, entry into data systems (LIMS) and supported with out-of-hours emergency calls.

Communication Skills

• Designed my MSc project methodology, conducted literature reviews, and prepared manuscripts and presented research proposals.
