  I'm currently a 5th-year Doctoral Candidate in the Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry Department at the University of Kentucky. I'm a member of Dr. Sidney Whiteheart's lab, and the lab research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of platelet secretion. My research project in the lab focuses on characterizing the molecular roles of both α‐Synuclein and Cysteine String Protein-α in platelet function.

  • Jan 2016 - May 2017

  • Synthesized and investigated the dimeriaztion-dependent stability of the isolated N-terminal domain neural cadherin (NCAD1). • Evaluated and interpreted the data and maintained records. • Methods used in this project were protein synthesis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, His-Tag purification, UV-Vis spectroscopy, analytical size-exclusion chromatography (HPLC), Circular-Dichroism spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy. • Synthesized and investigated the dimeriaztion-dependent stability of the isolated N-terminal domain neural cadherin (NCAD1). • Evaluated and interpreted the data and maintained records. • Methods used in this project were protein synthesis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, His-Tag purification, UV-Vis spectroscopy, analytical size-exclusion chromatography (HPLC), Circular-Dichroism spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy.
