Ryan Vander Werff
I received both my BSc and MSc from the University of California, San Diego in Molecular and Cellular Biology. During that time, my research focus was on Cancer Biology, looking at the mechanistic site of action for PTHrP’s growth inhibitory effects on Non Small Cell Lung Cancer. From there, I went on to work for private labs focused on therapeutics, drug delivery, and diagnostics. In these fields, I was introduced to the application of technology in the laboratory while working with high throughput screening, laboratory automation, micro-fluidics, analytics, and most recently, next generation sequencing. My most recent position with Sequenom, in La Jolla California, was in a clinical diagnostic laboratory that sequenced fetal DNA through methylation based filtering of maternal blood samples. Here, I was a part of a small group known as the Technology Development Team, which worked on setting up new assays via Illumina`s next generation sequencing, laboratory automation, and any other technologies that were being brought into the lab.
At the Biomedical Research Centre I am applying my knowledge and technical skills for sequencing and lab technology; providing tools for my fellow researchers to further the reach and understanding of high impact discoveries.
