I have 7 years of experience, and specialize in the field of analytical chemistry and biochemistry with specific knowledge in the areas of assay development for disease biomarkers, detection of infectious diseases, electrochemistry, immunoassay, DNA-assay, molecular biology, protein analysis, microlfuidics, magnetohydrodynamics, quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles, colloidal gold nanoparticles and serodiagnosis of biological warfare agents. I have published on such topics as electrochemistry, diagnosis of infectious disease agents, microfluidics, electrochemical and fluorescence detection of proteins, DNA and whole organisms and imaging of cells with quantum dots. I have received 16 federal grants as principal investigator on my areas of expertise. I have presented in more than 50 national and international conferences.
