Uburu, Ohoazara

Summary

Bioanalyst with over 2 years of clinical laboratory experience across histology, cytology, hematology, microbiology, and clinical biochemistry. Demonstrated success in optimizing diagnostic workflows, minimizing data entry errors, and enhancing operational efficiency through advanced laboratory techniques and the integration of LIMS and EMR systems. Highly skilled in tissue processing, microtomy, and special staining techniques (H&E, Pap), with a strong commitment to quality assurance and compliance with ISO 15189 standards. Currently employed at one of the largest and most reputable national referral hospitals. Recently received formal approval of my basic education from the Danish Patient Safety Authority to proceed with the evaluation program. Authorized to apply for an internship position as a Bioanalyst (Praktikant for bioanalytiker) to work under supervision and delegation (betingelserne for brug af medhjælp) in a patient-centered healthcare facility. Fluent in English and actively preparing for the Danish Language 3 course as part of the authorization process with the Danish Patient Safety Authority.

Work History

Senior Medical Laboratory Scientist

David Umahi Federal University Teaching Hospital
12.2022 - Current
  • Executed routine and specialized histology/cytology exams using rotary microtome and H&E/Pap staining protocols; standardized timing, reagent ratios, and slide prep to improve diagnostic concordance by 15% in oncology/pathology units.
  • Developed and validated advanced diagnostic staining protocols by adjusting reagent timing and concentration; improved cellular differentiation and interpretability, increasing diagnostic accuracy in cancer cases.
  • Streamlined electronic medical record workflows by integrating LIMS, reducing manual data entry errors by 10% and enhancing sample traceability and cross-department collaboration.
  • Managed calibration schedules for microtomes, water baths, and embedding centers using vendor tracking spreadsheets and internal SOPs, increasing equipment uptime by 20% and reducing diagnostic delays.
  • Led end-to-end redesign of biopsy/cytology workflow by integrating sample tracking systems, technician shift SOPs, and documentation standards, boosting lab throughput by 15%.
  • Spearheaded ISO 15189-compliant digital EMR system rollout, replacing semi-manual records, reducing documentation errors by 20%, and enhancing audit readiness for internal/external reviews.

Medical Laboratory Scientist

Ebonyi State University Community General Hospital
11.2021 - 11.2022
  • Performed FBC, ESR, and biochemical assays using Mindray and Roche semi-automated analyzers across microbiology, hematology, and chemistry units, reducing test turnaround time by 10%.
  • Maintained high diagnostic accuracy by regularly auditing analyzer calibration logs and enforcing ISO 15189 SOPs, resulting in a defect-free outcome in internal audits.
  • Managed daily LIMS data uploads and scheduled analyzer calibrations using preventive maintenance logs, reducing equipment downtime and improving lab throughput.
  • Implemented a laboratory-wide sample tracking system, reducing diagnostic turnaround time by 12% and nearly eliminating sample misplacement incidents.
  • Designed and conducted weekly technical training sessions for 5-10 junior lab staff on SOP compliance and analyzer operation, increasing test accuracy by 15% and improving staff confidence.

Medical Laboratory Scientist Intern

Federal Medical Centre
10.2019 - 10.2020
  • Assisted with diagnostic testing across histology, microbiology, hematology, cytology, and clinical chemistry units under supervision; gained hands-on experience in aseptic sample handling, slide preparation, and analyzer operation.
  • Prepared paraffin-embedded tissue blocks and slides using standard histological procedures, contributing to a 10% reduction in slide rejection rates and improving consistency in diagnostic evaluations.
  • Conducted H&E and Pap staining by adhering to optimized reagent timing and concentrations, which improved stain uniformity and reduced rework cases by approximately 15%.
  • Standardized H&E staining by adjusting hematoxylin and eosin timing and concentration levels in collaboration with pathology staff, improving consistency and reproducibility in histopathology assessments.
  • Developed and validated a revised tissue trimming and paraffin embedding protocol that increased sample throughput by 5%; adopted across all lab sections as a standardized best practice.
