Alumni News

Senior Research Scientist at Promega. I work in the Genetic Identity group making kits and reagents for molecular biology and DNA typing (e.g.paternity testing, forensic DNA analysis, human identity testing and tissue culture strain identification). I am also teaching at some courses offered at the Biopharmaceutical Technology Center Institute, a non-profit training institute that resides on out campus and offers life-science education programs from grade-school to graduate-school level.
