• Beth Israel Deaconness Medical Center

• Research Intern

  • Jul 2016 - Aug 2017

  • Performed several laboratory techniques including but not limited to maxi & mini preparations, DNA phenol chloroform extractions, and bacterial vector transfection. • Identified potential protein interaction network implicated in diagnosis of autism and related developmental disorders that decrease sociability, vocalizations, etc. for master’s thesis completion. Determined a synergistic relationship between seizures and transcriptional regulator Ube3a that causes a repressive effect on known autistic gene Cbln1 to help identify a potential molecular basis to Angelman syndrome.
