Mary Price

Objective

 

Learning new technologies and exploring advancements in science with upward growth potential within an organization with emphasis in running a FACS core.

 

Summary of qualifications

 

I am a conscientious, organized, and diligent worker that quickly learns new tasks and concepts. I have extensive experience in FACS technologies, stem cell isolation and culture techniques, retroviral gene transfer with viral vectors, PCR, as well as various other techniques.  I enjoy working with people on projects but also can work efficiently on a project independently. I have particular expertise in development and troubleshooting assays. I take pride in my work and can handle multiple projects and tasks with ease.
