Graduate Student

• Aug 2010 - Jan 2015

Four years research experience on the discovery and characterization of small molecules that target aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH) using enzyme kinetics and structural biology: ▪ Performed in vitro high-throughput screen to identify novel, small molecule inhibitors of human ALDH1A1, an enzyme linked to stem cells, cancer, obesity, and neurodegeneration ▪ Discovered the first, selective inhibitors of human ALDH1A1; provisional patent ▪ Characterized compounds using steady-state enzyme kinetics, macromolecular X-ray crystallography, site-directed mutagenesis, and cell culture ▪ Managed three projects, leading to four publications and five deposits to the Protein Data Bank, including the first human ALDH1A1 protein structures

Research Technician
