WORK HISTORY
Undergraduate Research Assistant @Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Presented findings at lab subgroup on a bi-weekly basis. Attended weekly lab meetings. Performed major feasibility tests to determine the most optimal PTE protocol that interfered the least with stitching PCR. Determined and sequentially tested PTE protocol parameters (e.g, thermocycling stability, cell concentration, stitching PCR compatibility, species mixing). Utilized molecular biology skills such as fixing cells, imaging under a microscope, and thermocycling. Determined the most optimal PTE protocol that interfered the least with stitching PCR. Results were observed and noted in my lab notebook. Assisted physical therapists with patient treatments by setting up equipment, preparing patients for treatment and providing support throughout the session.

ABOUT LEXI FERNANDEZ
I am a current third-year student, majoring in Bioengineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I will be graduating in May 2026 and plan to continue a career in medicine. I am most passionate about areas surrounding sports medicine and orthopedics to help treat orthopedic conditions and injuries. My current research involves working alongside my PhD mentor, Frances Keer, who is developing a low cost method for genome-wide CRISPR screening of millions of cells with a gene expression readout. We are aiming to find the most effective parameters for Stitch-seq, a high-throughput droplet-based overlap extension RT-PCR method that enables readout of the expression levels of 10-20 target genes. I have wet lab experience in flow cytometry, protein purification, gel electrophoresis, qPCR, PCR, spri-bead DNA purification, tissue culture, cloning, DNA sequencing, microscopy, and data analysis.I am motivated to revolutionize medicine by using bioengineering techniques to create effective treatments for a range of health conditions.
