  Research focused on understanding the mechanism by which the SARS-CoV-2 virus is able to infiltrate the epithelial cell lining of the GI tract, and how that viral route of entry may deviate within the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) population. Tasks included in-vivo surgeries, mouse colony maintenance, genotyping, immunohistochemistry, cell culture, spheroid development, cDNA conversion, qPCR, tissue sectioning, Western Blot.

  Teaching Assistant and tutor for biology class, Evolution and Genetics. Responsibilities included tutoring students individually/in small groups, and leading supplemental instruction (SI) sessions for larger groups of students. (2018) Laboratory Teaching Assistant and Tutor for biology class, Form and Function. Responsibilities included assisting in lab orchestration through preparing materials, answering questions during the lab, assisting in lab protocol demonstrations, grading students' assignments due in lab, holding office hours for additional questions pertaining to lab work. As a tutor, I worked individually with students on course content and study/test taking strategies. (2019-2020) Laboratory Teaching Assistant for biology class, Cell and Molecular Biology. Responsible for holding discussion sections for small groups of students to review key concepts relating to the lab associated with the class, and grading lecture and lab based assessments. (2020)

  • Jun 2019 - Sep 2019

  Conducted research in the Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) Lab within the ECMO-Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (ECPR) project, aiming to further elucidate the mechanistic properties of the no-reflow phenomenon. I examined fibrin deposition in the frontal lobe of the porcine ECPR animal model to investigate the pro-thrombotic state post no-reflow. In addition to this, I developed and optimized a new immunolabeling technique to look at fibrin in multiple tissue types relative to their peripheral microvasculature.

  • Jun 2018 - Sep 2018

  Research project on the dynamics of disease progression in cystic fibrosis. Specifically analyzed the interaction between Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the Burkholderia cepacia within the context of the cystic fibrosis patient population. Approach was working with data retrospectively on R, and generating representative mathematical models through a series of differential and stochastic model development.
