▪ Collection, preparation, aliquoting, and processing of samples within all laboratory departments, as well as troubleshooting and monitoring reagent stability, following tests' protocols, maintenance and calibration of machines. ▪ Preparation and processing of COVID-19 samples for testing using RT-PCR and rapid PCR as well as Antibody (IgG/IgM) and rapid antigen testing. ▪ Dilution, staining techniques, differential smear reading, preparation of antibiograms and bacteriological growth mediums. ▪ Supervised and trained laboratory interns.

▪ Promotion of diverse products (foodstuff, cosmetics, electronics, medical) for esteemed companies (Fattal, Societe Jabra, Kent, Marlboro) through reputable marketing agencies (LesPresentables, I-Pro, Magenta). ▪ Conduction of comprehensive market research to discern consumer preferences and trends. ▪ Administration of questionnaires, preparation of detailed reports, and customer-product exposure

▪ Conducted DNA, RNA and mtDNA extraction, quantification, and amplification using advanced laboratory equipment, as well as identification of GMOs and gene function analysis. ▪ Practiced Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), total RNA Isolation RT-PCR, and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). ▪ Executed bacterial plasmid transformation, miniprep techniques and restriction profile analysis as well as protein extraction and Western Blotting. ▪ Studied mitochondrial hypervariable regions, molecular detection and screening of viruses and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) using Real-Time and multiplex PCR technology. ▪ Thesis: “UTI Project”: UTI research project Researcher, AUST in collab with Berkley University June 2022 – Sep 2022 ▪ Established direct partnerships with clinics, laboratories, and hospitals including "Al-Hadi laboratory," "Amel Association," and "Baabda Governmental Hospital" ▪ Collected, stored, and analyzed suspected E. coli urine samples associated with Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), prepared growth culture media for identification, preservation and isolation, determined antibiotic resistance profiles and Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs), collected required data to conduct qualitative and quantitative statistical analysis of demographics to document research findings. ▪ Performed genomic amplification of bacterial DNA via Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus (ERIC) PCR, and gel electrophoresis analysis to identify different bacterial strains, including Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) for precise strain identification.

▪ Received MLT training within all laboratory sections and familiarized with various machines. ▪ Completed clinical rotations in Central Military Hospital and Sahel General Hospital. CRC drugs research project Researcher, BAU May 2019 – Sep 2019 ▪ Investigated the impact of a drug targeting colorectal cancer through a preclinical trial conducted on laboratory mice. ▪ Delivered the medicinal drug via intra-muscular injections and meticulously documented any observed side effects, changes in vitality, morbidity status, as well as behavioral and physiological alterations. ▪ Concluded the project prematurely as the mouse models exhibited hyperplasia rather than tumor growth.
