About Me
5 years of hands-on experience in research laboratory (hematology, immunology and oncology). Extensive experience with primary blood cells sorting and culture, highly skilled in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, imaging and flow cytometry. Looking for new challenges in biotechnology firms based in the United States.
