Conduct wetlab and statistical analysis and graphical representation of omics data on insulin-related pathways through a part-time paid research position in the Svensson Lab. Skills: DNA Electrophoresis, Cell Culture

Work with the office of the Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education (VPUE) to promote and connect research opportunities with interested students. Managed and expanded funding for supporting undergraduate research, especially for those who are underrepresented in academia.

I am working under the direction of researchers at the Program on Regulation, Therapeutics, and Law (PORTAL), a research core within the Department of Pharmacoeconomics and Pharmacoepidemiology at Harvard Medical School. My research is focused on computationally analyzing trends in generic drug prices and healthcare policy prescription.

Performed wet-lab validation studies of anti-DNMT3A selected nanobodies for applications in gene silencing and activation in the Bintu Lab. Skills: Gibson Assembly, Lentivirus, Cell Culture, Flow Cytometry

Through this paid internship, I analyzed proteomics and miRNA expression datasets collected from ExoFlo, a pioneer MSC-derived extracellular vesicle therapeutic. I also performed statistical analyses in R and created reports of pathways that related ExoFlo components to disease mechanisms of action. Skills: Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA), ELISA, Total Protein Assay

This was a highly selective 7-week paid research program sponsored by the Texas Tech Honors College for rising high school seniors and college freshmen. I worked on a bioinformatics and gene ontology project that identified potential genes that confer plants enhanced salt and heat tolerance.

Part-time, paid tutor position at the University of Nevada, Reno, where I tutor undergraduate students in mathematics, economics, physics, statistics, and R. I tutor one-on-one and lead group review sessions for tests.

Worked under Dr. Dennis Mathew, Associate Professor at the Department of Biology.
