| 08/2008- current |
Clinical Assistant Professor at Marquette University in Milwaukee to teach various subjects in Medical Technology / Clinical Laboratory Science |
| 09/2004 - 03/2008 |
scientist at Clarient (formerly ChromaVision) to manage the flow cytometry laboratory for providing services to the biopharmaceutical industries, working closely with the reference lab to introduce advanced flow cytometry assays. |
| 07/2003 - 08/2004 |
providing clinical services to monitor cellular immunity on patient samples at a CAP-certied lab at UCI; involved in translational researches in signal transduction using flow cytometry and confocal imaging. |
| 04/2000 - 07/2003 |
cytometry specialist to assist the running of MoFlo high speed sorter, FACScan, and Bio-Rad confocal microscpes in the optical biology core at UCI. |
| 01/1998 - 04/2000 |
Research Scientist operating FACStar plus at Nexell Therapeutics Inc., responsible for sorter operation and researches leading to development of therapeutic strategies of cancer vaccine using ex-vivo expanded hematopoietic stem cells or dendritic cells. I am also involved in training co-workers to learn flow cytometry. |
| 03/1997 - 01/1998 |
postdoc trainee in flow cytometry at Children's Hospital of Orange County, responsible for developing flow cytometric protocols to assist research projects, was involved in two projects: one was to study the mechanisms (apoptotic or necrotic) of anti-sense inhibition on Burkitt's lymphoma using flow cytometry, the other was to establish a 3-color flow cytometrical protocol to phenotype the dendritic cells after ex-vivo expansion from cord blood for cancer vaccine project; was also involved in the determination of CD34 from cord blood and peripheral stem cell preparation. |
