Animal Surgery- Fetal and adult survival surgery, primarily in sheep and non-human primates. Special interest in fetal instrumentation for functional assessment in utero. Catheterization, EEG, EKG, EMG implantation, telemetry in primates. |
Data Management Systems- Approaches: Implement and administer computer server systems (Unix/Linux/Windows Server); centralization of laboratory record keeping: database tracking of study protocols, analytical results, digital images and files, experiment participant history and characteristics; management of high throughput technology data output; data sharing. |
Fetal Cardiovascular Development- Approaches: proteomics, transcriptomics, genomics, PCR, Western blot, in vitro vascular function (smooth muscle and endothelial) |
Fetal Renal Development- Approaches: proteomics, transcriptomics, genomics, PCR, Western blot, proximal tubule cell culture, organ explant culture |
Large Animal Physiology- Approaches: smooth muscle function (myography), endothelial function (myography, cell culture), circulatory function (vascular instrumentation), renal function |
Software Engineering- Approaches: SQL Database design and implementation (MSSQL, Postres, MySQL, Oracle); high throughput technology data pipeline development and integration into LIMS; Web Application design and implementation (Python, PHP, Java, Javascript, C#); User Interface design and implementation (Spring, Faces, EXT, YUI); Desktop/Mobile device application design and implementation (Cocoa, C#, C++). |
