Maintain and perform experiments on multiple human cell culture lines. Perform supervisory and training duties involving junior personnel. Participate in discussions, meetings, conferences, and training groups to enhance research methodology and knowledge base. Perform statistical analysis of raw, experimental data using SPSS and JMP software. File and maintain experiment and data records. Perform literature review and organize literature library of relevant scientific articles. Write and edit papers for publication. Plan, design and implement research projects. Research Assistant March May 2015 Wright State University, Pharmacology and Toxicology Department Supervisor: James Lucot, PhD Project title: Expression of NKCC2 Cotransporter in Murine Central Nervous System

2 Looking for presence of the presence of the NKCC2 Cl - channel in the mouse brain, specific brain region expression and types of cells that express NKCC2 Histology: cryostat sectioning (mouse brain), staining procedures (GFAP, NeuN, Slc12a1), slide preparation, and taking pictures with a fluorescent microscope. Aiding in animal experiments by performing tail suspension test and assisting in perfusion of mice. Write and edit papers for publication. Design Posters for research conferences.
