relevant experience 

My time at Ryerson University has allowed me to gain fundamental laboratory experience, allowing me to
hone my skills. I have preformed many experiments, varying in complexity and skill set from titrations, to multi-week protein assays, to infection of HeLa cell cultures and subsequent harvesting of virus. To date I have over 1000 hours of in lab experience, and I continue to develop essential laboratory skills which will allow me to easily transition into future to professional work.
