Currently, working Technical Support for Molecular Devices, I am responsible for support three instrument platforms: All single and multimode spectrophotometers (Spectramax line, Filtermax line, i3x/iD3, etc.) High Content Screening (HCS)/Imaging (IXM line of automated microscopes, Nano, etc.) Bioproduction Automation (QPix bacterial/yeast robotic colony pickers, CP2 hybridoma/CHO robotic pickers) Related Software: MetaXpress Automated Image Analysis and Acquisition (IXM), Softmax Pro (IC50, PLA, etc.) Selected Molecular Biology Skills: Gene/protein exp. (RT-PCR, Northern, gene array analysis, quant. Westerns, ELISA, dot blots, etc.), antibody generation/characterization, immunoprecipitation. Cell culture: epithelial, carcinoma, neuronal, ES cells, 3D/encapsulation, transfection, stable cell line generation, RNAi, lentivirus design/production/infection. Cellular biology: live cell imaging, transport, axon/dendrite outgrowth/branching, FACS analysis and cell sorting Microscopy: IHC, IF Selected IT Interests: PACS Admin (Picture Archiving and Communication System - Medical Imaging) Windows Server 2003/2008 Admin VMware Virtualization Virtual Private Networking Microsoft Exchange Server Admin

Bryan Conn's Experience:

  • Consultant at The Rogosin Institute

  • Founder/Owner at Business Backwards LLC

    November 2011

    This new LLC organizes two of my current professional interests. The first interest being providing IT/Remote Networking services, predominately, but not exclusively, to the telemedicine industry (PACS/DICOM admin and deployment for teleradiology). The other pursuit that is sort of crammed under this umbrella is our Internet retail sales and marketing business, which focuses on bringing exclusive tech products to under reached markets. The push in 2012 will be towards regionally facing global webstores that combines with international warehousing and fulfillment, allowing for low-cost regional shipping to foreign markets.
