About Michael Wilhide

Dedicated to laboratory analyses, safety, and compliance, I’m passionate about delivering accurate results that improve patient health outcomes through innovative problem-solving and collaboration: As a Biotechnology Associate-Scientific Clinical contractor at P&G through Integrated Resources, I isolated specific skin structures from over 200 human skin biopsies using Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM): Three years in CLIA-certified molecular diagnostic labs. At Amazon Dx, we delivered precise test results within service-level agreements in a high-throughput environment processing over two million samples. At Ischemia Care, I used gene expression assays to identify cerebrovascular events, improving diagnoses and clinical treatments: Extensive experience in hospitals and academic institutions, leading to three first-author and four contributor publications, plus four posters presented at national conferences and team meetings: Oversaw equipment procurement, trained staff and students, co-mentored a medical student, and ensured policy compliance at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati Children’s Medical Center, and Nationwide Children’s Hospital: Proficient in sterile techniques, Western blotting, ELISA, multiplex immunoassays, PCR, qRT-PCR, mini and maxi-preps, microarray analysis, gel electrophoresis, RNA, DNA, and protein isolation, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, in situ hybridization, and laser capture microdissection. 🧪 : Hands-on experience with the QIAcube, Affymetrix GeneChip System, whole transcriptome assays, PAXgene Blood RNA System, Hamilton Microlab STARlet Liquid Handling System, MGITech MGISP-960 Extraction Instrument, and Zeiss PALM MicroBeam LCM System. 🧬 : Expertise in processing nasal swabs, tissue samples, urine, and blood specimens.
