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 Skills:
- biological synthetic protein design and production
- viral-induced cancer life cycle virologist
- Molecular-based training, full-scope independent molecular researcher
- microfluidic cartridge design and experimentation
Willie Hughes's Problem Solving Experience:
- - I have developed protocols and biomarkers for testing of sleep apnea as a point-of-care device.
- - 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).
