  Faculty Assistant Researcher of a lab focused on the development of next-generation vaccines and protein-based therapeutics for infectious diseases including but not limited to Hepatitis C Virus , Ebola, and COVID-19. Projects are primarily involved in HCV vaccine development. Experiments involve the serology of immunized animal models. Some of the serology experiments include ELISAs for kinetic analysis and sera binding profiles, glycoprotein pseudoparticle neutralization assays, and… Show more Faculty Assistant Researcher of a lab focused on the development of next-generation vaccines and protein-based therapeutics for infectious diseases including but not limited to Hepatitis C Virus , Ebola, and COVID-19.

  Intern at an RNA nanoparticle biology laboratory focused on the development of RNA cube nanoparticles as a therapeutic agent for downregulating overexpressed anti-apoptotic genes in carcinomas such as Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer. Practiced many scientific techniques such as PCR, gel electrophoresis, RNA assembly, cell culture, transfections, and Western blots. Trained incoming interns. Assisted in curating future research projects.

  Assisted in the ER as a the nurse's assistant. Located necessary equipment such as lenses and scalpels when requested. Applied eyedrops to the patient's eyes after surgery. In the recovery room, I explained the medication I administered depending on the condition of the patients and explained the post-procedure process to facilitate proper treatment and future check-ups. http://www.visioncareusa.org/index.html Assisted in the ER as a the nurse's assistant.
