Summary
Nikolai K is a translational biologist and LCMS scientist with 11 years of hands-on experience bridging molecular biology, animal models, and analytical chemistry. He combines deep wet-lab expertise—DNA/RNA work, PCR, HPLC, IHC, and LCMS bioanalysis—with lab automation and workflow optimization to boost throughput and data quality. His background spans academia and clinical settings, from leading adipose stem cell research at Cornell to supervising COVID testing operations at a regional medical center. Trained in biochemistry, GIS/cartography, and food science (PhD), he brings an unusual mix of spatial-data skills, large/small animal husbandry, and programming (R, Python, SPSS) to experimental design and data analysis. Known for creating practical protocols and training teams, he excels at turning complex assays into reliable, reproducible pipelines. Colleagues value his pragmatic problem-solving and ability to translate technical workflows into scalable lab practices.
