Glimpse My Hands-On Experiences & Training (2013-2023)
All the images below in the slide bar correspond to experiments performed by I (Ken Guinto). They were performed in the labs of various 4-year universities & 2-year colleges. These institutions included: UC San Diego, the University of Osaka, the University of Tokyo, the University of Michigan, the University of San Francisco, the San Diego Community College District (at City, Mesa, Miramar college campuses), & the City College of San Francisco.

 Video Addressing Technical Projects in Biotechnology

In the following 40 minute video, I speak about 3 of my technical projects in Biotechnology in more detail than average. These projects are the following: 

1.  Exploring the Migration Patterns of Opportunistic Pathogens in Water Distribution Networks from the Department of Environmental & Water Resource Engineering at the University of Michigan, Summer Research Opportunity Program - July to August 2017

2. Insertion Mutation Found in pmL104 Plasmid Vector using Double Digestion Techniques, Organic Chemistry & Cell Biology Lab (Part 2) course at Osaka University, Japan - January 2020

3. Transformation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae using CRISPR-CAS9 Systems from Recombinant DNA Lab Techniques course at the University of California, San Diego - August 2021

 My Undergraduate Journey

For anybody who may be interested in the unique road that I took in completing a bachelor's degree in Nanotechnology Engineering (or Nanoengineering) from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), there is a video below where I address my journey. Along the way, I also received 3 different associates degree from the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) from each of its main campuses, such as Engineering from City College (2018), Japanese from Mesa College (2016), and Chemistry Studies from Miramar College (2022). Throughout the journey, I also worked in various places, where I named some in the video, but not all as the timeline only depicts the tip of the iceberg. For anybody who may want to know more about my journey, there is also a google form on my website (www.kenguinto.com) that you may use to contact me directly. Thank you.
