Chronological Resume


Objective: Research Associate

Highlights of Qualifications

  • Excellent skills in communication, communication and collaboration.
  • Skilled in all phases of hybridoma production.
  • Good working knowledge of research of immunology.
  • Highly creative and resourceful.

    Relevant Skills and Accomplishments

    Applied Research

  • Successfully developed new antibodies for use in breast cancer research and therapy: -experimented with antigen preparation and immunization routines, resulting in the desired immune response. -carefully monitored the anisera to ensure presence of desired B-cell population; -tailored screening strategies using ELISA, RIA and Immunoblot techniques, to effectively isolate the desired hybridomas.
  • Developed, in collaboration with others, a novel assay which identified the antibodies' ability to bind to live, intact tumor cells.
  • Delivered periodic presentations of results and works in progress, to staff of Cancer Research Institute.

  • Innovation/Exploration

  • Pursued unique opportunities for experimentation, for example:
    -researched and worked out procedures for vitro immunization of human lymphocytes: -explored and experimented with hybridoma production, using lymph node cells of a cancer patient; -experimented to induce animals' immune system to respond to a weak antigen.
