Profile


Sharie graduated at the University of the Philippines Manila with Bachelor's degree in Biology and currently taking up her masterals in Public Health under the Medical Parasitology program at the same university.

Previously, she had worked on the project "Real-Time PCR for Rapid Detection of Resistance to Rifampin, Isoniazid and Fluoroquinolones among Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from the Philippines" and is currently working on the development of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) immunoassay using immunoglobulin Y technology. Among her co-authored and presented papers are the "Detection of Local Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates through the Loop-Mediated Istothermal Amplification (LAMP) PCR, PCR-based Detection of gyrA Mutations in Multi-drug Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from the Philippine General Hospital (PGH)", "rPOB Mutation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from the
Philippine General Hospital: Patterns and Predictive Efficiency", "Detection of Mutations in Isoniazid Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from Tuberculosis Patients in the Philippines", and "Mutation Profile of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from the Philippine General Hospital: Clustering of rPOB and katG Sequences".

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR TRAINING FOR BIOSAFETY OFFICERS

The UPM - IBBC is organizing a Training Program for Laboratory Biosafety and Biosecurity Officers to commence in the second quarter of 2016. The main objective of the program is to develop a pool of local trainers who will undertake advocacy and continuing education on laboratory biosafety and biosecurity. At the end of the training, the trainers are expected to be competent in the following areas:

*Biosafety and biosecurity risk assessment *Laboratory vivarium Biosafety and Biosecurity *Biocontainment practices and procedures *Biocontainment facilities *Use of safety equipment *Incident response procedures *Infectious substance transport *Biosafety program management *Management of transgenic materials *Regulatory framework of transgenic materials

The training will entail at least ten modules, each of which with duration of two weeks, scheduled on July 18-29, 2016; September 18- October 1, 2016; and November 20- December 3, 2016.
