Research Intern

Assist with pioneering small molecule therapies to treat autoimmune diseases and cancer. Support the advancement of projects in the discovery pipeline and conduct hypothesis-driven research, translating into research directions using recent scientific advances. • Optimized an in vitro cellular assay, critical for a compound screening funnel. Optimized the cell line and number, incubation time, plating conditions, and the stress used to induce phosphorylation of the target, resulting in the creation on an optimized protocol used weekly in funnel to screen compounds. • Advanced an anti-cd3e model in C57BL6 vs. Balb/C mice critical for screening funnels; enhanced both models regarding incubation times, cell numbers, reagent concentration and analysis, incorporating this into another weekly protocol. • Re-established a cellular assay that had stopped working due to weekly variances in the target enzyme in the decided cell line. After testing different cell lines with different levels of and types of stress concluded the original cell line was the best. The stress method of induction was abandoned, and a stably transduced version of the cell line that expresses increased levels of kinase was created. The assay has now been performing consistently for months. Show less

As a scribe, I worked alongside medical providers in the emergency room and urgent care facilities, inputting information into patients’ medical charts in real time. They also perform many advanced workflow duties that relieve the burdens of paperwork and documentation from busy healthcare providers. Each shift, I was assigned to work with a doctor or physician assistant. I accompanied the provider into the patient’s room to document the subjective and objective portions of the chart, in addition to all treatment and follow-up care directly into the medical record in real time.
