Background

About Patrick Calubaquib

With over 10 years of experience in cell biology research and development, I am passionate about creating innovative solutions for sustainable agriculture and food security. While at Cibus, a leading biotechnology company, I applied my expertise in cell culture, protoplast transformation, and flow cytometry to develop traits in non-transgenic plants. I enjoy working in a collaborative and diverse team that values curiosity, creativity, and excellence. In my previous role, I was involved in several research teams that aim to produce non-transgenic plants with desired traits, such as herbicide tolerance, disease resistance, and stress adaptation. I was responsible for reviewing, writing, and editing standard operating procedures, operating the flow cytometer to measure gene expression and ploidy, developing and maintaining data files for statistical analysis, and managing multiple experiments with different plant genotypes. I also contributed to data collection and presentation for monthly and quarterly progress reports, and supervise and mentor interns and lab assistants. Some of the skills that I use and enhance in my work include polymerase chain reaction, cell biology, cell culture, data analysis, and communication.
