Willie Hughes

Areas Willie Hughes is Knowledgeable in:

I particularly knowledgeable in protein biology and manipulation.

Techniques Willie Hughes Uses:

To solve most problems a complete understanding of the topic at-hand is critical and ideal for me. To achieve 'complete understanding', I begin a historical data search on the topic up to the current knowledge.

I also don't hold to dogmatic theories, until the problem is able to fit into the dogma. I never force dogma on a problem.

Willie Hughes's Problem Solving Experience:

  1. - I have developed protocols and biomarkers for testing of sleep apnea as a point-of-care device.
  2. - I have successfully developed buffers and protocols for stable control-parameters that were necessary for the reproducibility (i.e. specificity and sensitivity) of various capture-and-detection assays (i.e. nucleic acid-detection, protein-detection, and small-molecule-detection) in variety of matrices (i.e. blood/serum, saliva, and urine).
