Thanks
This could be an insight to where Anteo is heading.
"Kristin Cederquist the Research Scientist at 'IMRA America' she said "it was great to meet you guys? Looking forward to working together".
Two ways of looking at this.
1
Kristan is working for Anteo at IMRA
2
Kristan is coming to work at Anteo
Anteo is on a winner either way
This is one extremely talented young lady.

Senior Scientist
nanoRETE, Inc.
May 2012 – April 2014 (2 years)Lansing, MI
• Worked as one of four senior scientists in an early-stage start-up company. Managed three undergraduate interns and one high-school intern on laboratory projects and design of experiments. • Focused on technical transfer from an academic to an industrial setting. • Established company relations with chemical, equipment, and nanoparticle suppliers. • Synthesized semiconductor nanoparticles and analyzed them by dynamic light scattering, UV-Vis, fluorimetry, and light microscopy. • Purified nanoparticles by different methods of centrifugation and dialysis. • Chemically cross-linked biomolecules to nanoparticles and analyzed loading by UV-Vis. • Developed real-time PCR methodologies to quantify genomic DNA captured by magnetic separation. • Captured whole cells and tuberculosis biomarkers using immunomagnetic separation. • Performed ELISAs to identify viable antibody pairs for tuberculosis biomarkers. • Used nanoRETE’s novel electrochemical platform to detect magnetically-extracted cells, nucleic acids, and proteins. • Prepared Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants for the DoD and NSF. Was awarded a $750,000 DoD SBIR Phase II grant in December 2012 for the detection of novel tuberculosis biomarkers.
