Curriculum Vitae (CV) Example

A curriculum vitae, also known as a CV, is similar to the résumé but is typically used in
academia. You may need to use a CV when applying for programs of study, or professions within the academic field (teacher or professor), amongst other fields.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

St. Mary’s University, Biological Sciences and Engineering Departments
Research Program Fellow, May – November 2026
Advisor: Dr. Scales P. Diamondback
Designed and engineered probiotics to specifically invade cancer cells and release shRNAs into the cytoplasm to knockdown oncogenes, resulting in cancer cells dying or turning into normal cells, depending on target gene. Developed project goals and methods, built and tested the genetic circuits with cloning and cell culture work. Led introductory workshops and lab tour in synthetic biology to elementary, middle, and high school students, in partnership with HYPOTHEkids and ThinkSTEAM.

Brookhaven National Laboratory, Department of Biology
High School Research Program Intern, June 2024 – August 2025
Advisor: Dr. Hisster Canebrake
Developed method to express target protein in E. coli and purify protein for crystallization. Collaborated with PI to crystallize protein for X-ray crystallography to determine protein structure and function.
Performed bioinformatics analysis of the protein using BLAST, JPred, PSIPRED, and SWISS-MODEL.
