How would you describe your time at Northwestern University?

I was laid-off from employment in the Geoffrey T. Swanson's Lab due to lack of available grant funding. I enjoyed working for this lab as I got the opportunity to broaden my skills in laboratory techniques from work on nucleic acids to include cell biology and protein work.

How would you describe your time at chicago state university?

Utilized genetic linkage analysis & candidate gene analysis to identify locus conferring a spontaneous semi-dominant autosomal monogenic mutation causing late-onset ataxia in mouse.

Developed a high-resolution map demarcating the boundaries between congenic DNA segments in
several mouse haplotypes using a panel of novel microsatellite markers.

Trained graduate & undergraduate students in primer design, DNA extraction, PCR, & gel electrophoresis.... read more
