Background

About Kosar Jabbari

I am a research scientist in Bioengineering, with +4 years of extensive experience in developing integrated functional cell-based assays and computational techniques to study biological processes and tumor microenvironment. I am enthusiastic about learning new skills and applying my knowledge toward developing novel therapeutics. As an energetic and passionate teaching assistant and instructor, I am grateful for the excellent feedback from both the instructors and students. In addition, I am passionate to share my knowledge and have trained multiple graduate students and staff in aseptic techniques, basic lab operations, and functional cell-based assays. My key technical skills: Cellular assays: 3D co-culture, primary and cancer cell lines, gene editing High-Content Screening (MATLAB): fluorescent image processing, statistical analysis Immunoassays: ELISA, Western blot, immunofluorescent staining, flow cytometry Molecular assays: Electrophoresis, RNA and protein extractionAlso experienced in in vivo mouse model study, designing and 3D-printing microfluidic chips, polymeric tissue scaffold fabrication, and liposome nanoparticle synthesis My Interests: Development of biological assays and technologies for drug discovery Targeting malignant breast stem cells Novel approaches for cancer therapy like CAR T cell therapy Application of tissue engineering and microfluidics in novel therapeutics Image processing and High-Content Screening
