As a research scientist at a small biotech start-up, I was Principal Investigator on and helped write several successful Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants to NASA and NIH. Total funding for these grants alone was over 2.3 million dollars.
NIH SBIR
- Defined Biomatrix Model for Human Vascular Studies
- High Resolution Robotic Telemammography System
- Automated PC-Based Spot Detection for 2D Gel Analysis
NASA SBIR
- A Dynamically Controlled Vapor Diffusion Protein Crystal Growth.
- A Dynamically Controlled Temperature-Induced Protein Crystal Growth System.
- High-throughput micro-crystallization system.
- Raman Spectroscopy as a Non-Invasive Indicator of Protein Crystal Quality.
