Graduate Research Assistant at North Carolina State University

• Location: Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina Area
• Duration: 2017-01 to 2020-08
• Description: Advisor: Michael Gamcsik (UNC-Chapel Hill/NC State Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering) We have designed, fabricated and characterized 3 novel technologies that: (i) deliver a wide range of static or cycling oxygen content to a standard multiwell cell culture plate configurations for molecular analyses; (ii) follow the time course of molecular changes in cells upon exposure to either static or cycling oxygen conditions; (iii) maintain low oxygen (severe hypoxia) in multiwell plates during media and drug additions allowing high-throughput drug dose-response assays. All designs are based on the industry-standard multiwell plate configuration, which is widely used for high-throughput screening and is compatible with laboratory instrumentation such as multi-channel pipettors and plate readers. 2 patent applications have been submitted.
