I have been a Research Scientist for most of my working life, most recently with Abbott in the Chicago area for 15 years where I was in the Diagnostics Division and helped develop and trouble-shoot automated tests for Chagas' disease, Hepatitis, cancer, and developed some of the first mass spectrometric methods to detect pathogenic bacteria. For the past eleven years I have been a consultant in these areas and in biotechnology, in individual practice, or in collaboration with my colleague Dr. Kiu Leung.
I received my Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin in Immunochemistry and then worked three years in New York City at Rockefeller University while I was a Post-doctoral Fellow of the American Cancer Society. Subseqeuntly I was a Research Read more

Subseqeuntly I was a Research Associate in the Biochemistry Department at St. June Children's Research Hospital.
I am a member of the American Association of Immunologists, American Society for Mass Spectrometry, American Society for the Advancement of Science, and the American Chemical Society.. I am the co-author of 23 scientific publications, four patents and published two books.
For the past ten years I have taught Science courses such as Microbiology, Human Nutrition, and Immunology on-line for the University of Phoenix. In August 2007 I taught a Webinar about Intact Cell Mass Spectrometry to 14 students in the US and overseas.
