About Nicholas


Bio

I worked as a Strain Engineer at Ginkgo Bioworks for more than 3 years and have experience with genetic engineering, plasmid assembly, HT transformation, and screening. If you'd like to learn practical molecular biology I can help. Everything from PCR, plasmid assembly, gel electrophoresis, cell culture, transformation, DNA purification, genetic engineering, and much more.

I worked as a Strain Engineer at Ginkgo Bioworks for more than 3 years and have experience with genetic engineering, plasmid assembly, HT transformation, and screening.

Everything from PCR, plasmid assembly, gel electrophoresis, cell culture, transformation, DNA purification, genetic engineering, and much more.

- 3 years researching Ga13 cancer signaling in undergrad. Basic molecular biology, mammalian cell culture, luciferase essays, and more
- 3+ years of strain engineering at Ginkgo Bioworks with practical experience in E.coli, B.subtilis, and S.cerevisiae. Metabolic engineering, protein expression, and purification, fermentation, plate reader assays, automation, DNA design, etc.

I can tutor much of the theory but to really get the most out of tutoring there is nothing better than practical hands-on experience with an interesting scientific project. If you'd like to learn these skills (which are very employable!) we can design a suitable project and I will teach you at the bench at BosLab, an open community biohacker space.
