I came to USA in October 1997 when I joined the Lab of Cellular and Molecular Biophysics at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. I went for a year sabbatical to Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas in 1999-2000. I presently work for Technical Resources Intl. Inc., a CRO for the Division of AIDS, NIAID, responsible for regulatory affairs for DAIDS-sponsored human clinical trials. I am a molecular virologist. I am an expert in rafts (membrane microdomains), HIV molecular biology, gene therapy, virus-derived gene transfer vectors, growing viruses in tissue culture or eggs, tissue culture, viral fusion assays, sucrose gradient centrifugation and western, southern and northern blotting and TLC. I also have experience with the translational research, namely the transfer of biotechnology from bench to the consumer. My present work involves in-depth knowledge of FDA regulatory procedures for the human clinical trials leading to the development of biomedical products. I am an organization guru, I like to organize parties, events, trips, etc and the feedback tells me I am good at it. I like to travel; I have traveled a lot in the continental US from the northwest to southeast and from the southwest to northeast. I like to drive particularly long drives, I like to use to the most the exceptional opportunity life in USA offers, the ability to drive pretty much anywhere in the country any time of the day. Life in NIH offers a prospect to know and befriend people from practically all nationalities, ethnicities, religions and races. I have been blessed with a few very good friends from all spectrums of life. I am a movie buff, read mostly political literature and an avid Internet user. Most of all, I am people’s person, I love to interact with everyone.
