Ms
Please write email eddress for contactsas the mentioned site don`t open --I`m interested for specisalization and for work with stem cells-have good results experience in therapy by usins autologous adult stem cells. have experience like clinical embryologist too--my contacts and resume:Basic- high University education-- biology faculty with some specilizations--in clinical embryology, stem cells technologies, laboratory genetics, PCR, laboratory diagnostics-biochemistry, immunology( with experience to create technology from "0" in new labs(IVF, cryostorage, spermatology lab, stem cells technology lab etc, to create new IVf clinics projects-including inside architecthure according technology needs, choosing optimal models of equipment, placing according technology optimal needs and creation technology).My first IVF babies--already from 17-16 years old.Will be glad to work in the sphere of IVf-stem cells technologies.Best regards, Natalia RESUME Contact information. Сell phone: +7 911 826 75 18, +7966 3167462 E-mail address: [email protected] OBJECTIVES: As a specialist in new cells technologies and laboratory diagnostics (clinical embryologist, laboratory geneticist, immunologist, cytologist, biophysicist, biochemist—biophysics department of medical -biology faculty. University.) I`m interested would be apply my skills in the areas of IVF-stem cells technologies, molecular biology in scientific fields and practical -treatment area. Cell biology experience/ clinical embryology. I established and maintained intensive operation of an embryological IVF Lab during more 3,5years. Development of sperm biochemistry direction with definite tests screening program. I have more 3,5 year experience in ART as a clinical embryologist(senior embryologist), also successfully worked with using the wide spectrum of bio-chemical, immunological, bio -physical, genetic methodics of research (for exp. PCR diagnostic, scientific training practice in CGH technology seminars). I was responsible for stocks and supplies for IVF technologies. I managed the process and monitored the procedures of conducting embryological duties within the Lab to make sure that the procedures were performed correctly. Self -motivated, team-player, attentive to details, good communication skills. Team-leading experience(coordinated the work of embryologists). I have some experience in programs for pre-cultivation(ripening) of immature oocytes stages “in vitro” in different media including IVM-system (“Origio”, Denmark). I would like to work and get higher qualification at IVF: ICSI with spermatozoa(spermatids) of any origin, TESA, MESA, ROSNI, assisted hatching(different-laser, chemical),embryo(blastomers. throphectoderm) and polar body biopsy for PGD(Fish, CGH—how more perspective modern method of PGD), removal of extra pronucleus and fragmentation; hybridization «in situ».Programs for cultivation “in vitro” immature stages(oocytes, spermatids). I would like to try «oscillin factors», Ca2+ oocyte activation(Gynemed, Germany), donor mitochondria replacement(techniques involve removing the nuclear material from a donor egg-containing healthy mitochondria-and replacing it with the nuclear material from the mother's egg) other modern original approaches for oocytes activation or original ways of quality improvement and increasing of embryo quality and implantation embryo rates etc and I most interested about problem of immunology of reproduction(scientific-practical- treatment aspects). Also I would like--most interesting for me work directions connected with scientific field and clinical treatment aspects of stem cells technologies: embryonic and less perspective adult from different origins(bone marrow etc. others), therapeutic cloning. I would want to register for the ACE certificate of clinical embryology and receive licensed ICSI-stem cells European certificate practitioner. Eshre and RARH memberships. Cell biology experience/ stem cells technologies experience-scientific-treatment area. I had practice with stem cells works like separation, cultivation skills, preparation for transplantation mononuclear fraction from bone marrow and progenitor cells CD34+,CD133+etc.;separation by cell sorter Miltenyi Biotec Germany. I have about 2 years experience work like cytologist in “New stem cells technologies Lab” for clinical treatment by progenitor stem cells for different spectrum of pathologies including: liver cirrhosis, consequences of ischemia lower extremities(diabetic foot), different types of arthrosis, bones healing failure(during about 1-0,6 years) after trauma (which successfully knit during 1 month after procedure) etc other. I fulfill too all managering work parallel for work in IVF LAB and in the center of new cells technology therapy. I performed also administrative jobs and I am familiar with office work as well too side by side with my special work as a clinical embryologist. EDUCATION AND TRAINING.
