      I worked in Dr. Anthony Bishop's biochemistry lab, which studies protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) to discover new mechanisms for their inhibition for therapeutic purposes. PTPs are involved in various signaling pathways and human diseases.

      Dr. Michael Hood's lab that focuses on disease ecology of anther smut pathogens in the Caryophyllaceae family. The mechanism of infection serves as a model for disease transmission and the system is used to study how host-pathogen interactions influence genetic evolution. Fungi in the genus Microbotryum is transmitted via pollinators between flowering individuals, where it takes hold in the apical meristem and stimulates spore rather than pollen production in reproductive organs. I designed a project to determine if the proportion of coinfected individuals, those inhabited by more than one pathogen species, varies between resistant and susceptible plant families. Additionally, in order to visualize how Microbotryum utilizes space within the apical meristem, I experimented with ways of applying a fucose-binding lectin to infected meristems for imaging using a fluorescent microscope.

      I participated in the Center for Plant Cell Biology REU at the University of California Riverside. I worked in Dr. Carolyn Rasmussen's lab and focused on a project about division plane orientation in maize. I used DNA extraction, PCR, and gel electrophoresis techniques to genotype plants and observed the localization of the microtubule binding protein, TANGLED1, to the division site of maize embryos using confocal microscopy. I wrote a research paper and presented a poster based on my summer project at the concluding REU Poster Session at UC Riverside. Show less
