Ashley Berdel

I am a dedicated biotechnology student with a strong background in protein biochemistry, neuroscience, and mass spectrometry. With extensive experience in research and laboratory management, I am passionate about advancing scientific knowledge and contributing to impactful projects. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can leverage my technical skills, from protein characterization to scientific reporting, to drive innovation. In addition, I have a solid foundation in public health and experience in community engagement, making me adept at connecting diverse groups for meaningful collaboration. Let's connect to explore opportunities in biotechnology and beyond!

My experience includes conducting advanced research on protein characterization and collaborating on interdisciplinary projects. I have managed lab operations, trained new team members, and presented research at several symposiums and conferences. Additionally, my role in community outreach and administrative coordination showcases my ability to manage projects, educate diverse groups, and develop strategic partnerships. My skills span from technical lab work to effective communication and project management.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from Duquesne University, where I also minored in Public Health. My undergraduate studies were rich with hands-on research experience, particularly in the field of protein biochemistry. I focused on the structural insights of the serotonin transporter, using advanced techniques like crosslinking-mass spectrometry to delve deep into its biochemical properties. This rigorous academic background has equipped me with a solid foundation in both biochemistry and public health, preparing me well for my ongoing studies in Biotechnology.
