Researcher

• May 2020 - Jun 2023

Genetics and Bioimaging Researcher in the Departments of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at Dalhousie University. I work on characterizing retinal vasculature development in Familial Exudative Vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) mouse models in hopes of developing a robust quantitative methods for comparing the retinal phenotype of different genetic mutations related to FEVR, and their response to candidate drugs.

Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, among others, which is notoriously difficult to diagnose and detect. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a kind of DNA amplification technique which is much more sensitive, rapid, cost effective, and specific than the standard DNA amplification methods used for the detection of this bacteria in biological samples. And so, in this researcher position in the Lyme disease lab at Mount Allison, I am developing LAMP for the detection of B. burgdorferi in the hopes of providing the Canadian lyme research community with a new and much more effective diagnostic tool.
