Research Assistant I Specializing in Neuropathology & Confocal Image Analysis I Expert in IMARIS & Image J

Profile Summary

An experienced and dedicated Research Assistant (RA) with a strong interest in neurodegeneration within the context of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) as well as a curiosity to explore other neurodegenerative diseases. Over the course of two years as an RA at La Trobe University, I gained valuable research experience and developed a deep understanding of the complexities of this chronic autoimmune disease. My work focused on investigating the platelet mediated neurotoxicity in an animal model for MS called Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE). Skilled in histology, immunohistochemistry, confocal microscopy, TEM, Image J & IMARIS image analysis, primary neuronal culture, q-PCR, ELISA, DNA & RNA extraction, bacterial identification, data analysis, and scientific report writing. Strong research professional with a Master's degree focused on Biotechnology & Bioinformatics from La Trobe University.
