Research and responsibility in the lab: Manager of the IBP Phenotyping Core. In the Core I work with Rats or mice in surgical procedures or echocardiograms or helping some PI’s start a protocol.

I have a great experience in a diver’s amount of surgeries in rodents or developing a technique if needed. But I am most responsible in increasing the users of the core in order to be a profit service.
