Victor Manuel Loyo Cruz

Using fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy techniques to study membrane proteins. Independent planning, execution, optimization, and troubleshooting of biophysical experiments. Operated and troubleshot a cuvette-based TCSPC setup (Becker & Hickl SPC-830 electronics, SPCM software) for fluorescence lifetime and anisotropy measurements, optimizing excitation and acquisition conditions, count rates, IRF quality, reference measurements, and fluorescence-decay fitting. Performed confocal FLIM measurements

Passed technical competency assessments across the physicochemical testing scope of CIDETEQ’s ISO/IEC 17025-accredited Chemical Analysis Laboratory and was appointed Laboratory Supervisor and Authorized Signatory within six months. Coordinated SOP-controlled physicochemical testing for approximately 200 samples per month, maintaining traceability, data integrity, and audit-ready documentation. As Authorized Signatory, reviewed and approved approximately 15 accredited test reports per month used to assess

Analyzed fermentation kinetics and nutrient-feeding profiles during 500 L fed-batch Streptomyces clavuligerus production, identifying how feed timing affected clavulanic acid formation and contributing to an approximately 10% yield increase. Supported 500 L Bacillus spore-production runs for agricultural biocontrol, including sterilization, inoculation, aseptic sampling, process monitoring, and spore-count-based evaluation of production performance. Supported scale-up of Saccharomyces cerevisiae-based van
