CHLOE WOOD, MS & MBA6125 14th Street #303 Washington, DC (202) 368-0036 chloewood@yahoo.com

QUALIFICATION SUMMARY

My 15-year career in Biotechnology has covered research and development (R&D), regulated environments, and product development. In my most recent position, I was a member of a project team responsible for in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) product development and 510K applications for the FDA. My personal responsibilities involved performing risk assessments, troubleshooting design problems, and managing daily activities within the laboratory. In addition, I created a pilot laboratory for the production of hybridoma and monoclonal antibodies; this included designing the standard experiment procedures for the laboratory, writing the SOP’s, training staff, assigning daily tasks and projecting costs. I would also like to point out that I have an extensive technical skill set that includes immunologic assays, molecular biology, tissue culture, monoclonal antibody development, vaccine development, laboratory management, budget monitoring, and personnel training.
