Skills:

Characterized isolated organic molecules using (NMR, UV-Vis, IRs), Performed chromatographic separation of different benzoquinone derivative -4-nitrobenzenethiol adducts using HPLC, Analyzed low molecular weight of benzoquinone-4-nitrobenzenethi... adducts and proteomics (determination of binding sites of benzoquinone to human serum albumin ) using Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer, Bradford assay was utilized to quantify proteins with bovine serum albumin (BSA) or human serum albumin (HSA) as standards Used mice in the good laboratory practices GLP recommended local lymph node assay (LLNA) for benzoquinone and benzoquinone derivatives in skin sensitization. Separation of higher molecular mass from lower molecular mass molecules using dialysis Elucidated the possibility of radicals participation in reaction mechanisms using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), Determined the optical activity of compounds using polarimeter Performed research and developed new products using mass spectrometry Simulation tools: Photolithography software: PROLITH, Kintecus simulation software and Bruker Win-EPR system Operating Systems: Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP and windows 7
