About Michael Wilhide

I have always had a deep love for science and helping others. As a child, I dreamed of discovering a cure for cancer and winning a Nobel Prize. While I may not be there yet, I have built a fulfilling career in molecular biology and clinical lab science—driven by purpose, high standards, and a passion for making an impact.I am a Certified Technologist in Molecular Biology, MB(ASCP)CM with a Master of Science Degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Biochemical Pharmacology. I have over 10 years of experience across academic research labs, hospital research settings, and clinical laboratories. I have thrived in fast-paced, highly regulated, and cross-functional environments while maintaining a strong focus on quality, compliance, and scientific integrity.Core Competencies & Transferable Skills• Molecular biology techniques: PCR, qPCR, genotyping, RNA/DNA isolation, LCM, MassARRAY, and liquid handling automation• Clinical lab testing, molecular diagnostics, quality control, and data integrity• Laboratory management, SOP development, inventory control, and workflow optimization• Regulatory compliance: CLIA, CAP, IACUC, and IBC protocols and documentation• Scientific training, mentorship, and cross-functional collaboration• Critical thinking, troubleshooting, continuous improvement, and results reporting• Scientific communication for technical and non-technical audiencesSelected Accomplishments• Processed thousands of clinical diagnostic samples during the COVID-19 pandemic• Supported stroke biomarker research by running gene expression assays• Performed laser capture microdissection on 200+ human skin biopsy samples• Maintained and genotyped complex transgenic mouse colonies• Ensured full regulatory compliance in both research and clinical environments• Trained and supervised lab technicians, assistants, and studentsI look forward to contributing to roles in Clinical Laboratory Science, Molecular Diagnostics, R&D, or Scientific Operations. I also want to explore new directions in Quality Control, Quality Assurance, Scientific Writing, Technical Communication, Regulatory Affairs, Medical Science Liaison, Scientific Consulting, Continuous Improvement, and Science Outreach.I bring a strong commitment to scientific excellence, integrity, and impact. I am always learning, always growing, and ready to apply my experience and passion to new roles that improve health and advance science.The views expressed on this profile and posts are my own and do not reflect the views of my employer.
