Hello Histonet, and thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself:
My name is Ryan Hickey, and I will soon be graduating from a NAACLS-accredited 1-year program in Histotechnology from The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center School of Health Professions. I am in the final stage of my clinical rotations both in immunohistochemistry and biorepository research, after accruing experience in immunohistochemistry, special stains, microtomy, cryotomy, grossing, and laboratory operations. Throughout the duration of the program, I feel that I have received a strong foundation of knowledge and clinical practice in histotechnology. Prior to my clinical education in histotechnology, I spent significant time in a molecular profiling and diagnostics laboratory practicing immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence assays. My work comprised protocol validation and optimization in regards to the characterization of biomarkers related to squamous cell carcinomas. In August, I will be eligible for ASCP Histotechnologist Certification (HTL); my application for the certification exam has been submitted. If selected, I am able to begin work immediately. Please feel free to contact me if you or any of your colleagues or associates are seeking a well-qualified, dedicated histotechnologist. Thank you for taking the time to review my information and consider my request; as always, I look forward to contributing constructively to the Histonet in the near future. Kind regards, Ryan M. Hickey, BS _______________________________________________ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
