• Managed and conducted a 500 patient colorectal cancer clinical biomarker study at the VA hospital in the laboratory of Won Kyoo Cho.
• Developed a procedure to assay for miRNA in cancer derived serum exosomes.
• Managed incoming clinical samples.

Berkeley, California, United States

• Conducted research around metabolic syndrome, type II diabetes, and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in the laboratory of Andreas Stahl.
• Demonstrated that Fatty Acid Transport Protein 2 (FATP2) modulation can positively affect NAFLD by using AAV delivered shRNA to mouse models.
• Unexpectedly lost funding and had to work in an unofficial capacity to complete publication.

Stanford, California, United States

• Conducted research around metabolic syndrome, type II diabetes, and NAFLD in the laboratory of Andreas Stahl. This work was continued at UC, Berkeley when the laboratory changed universities.
• Linked FATP2 to bile metabolism and gallstone formation in mouse models using a lithogenic diet.

• Conducted research on the molecular biology of aging in the laboratory of John Aris. This research focused on DNA repair and replicative senescence.
• Demonstrated the accumulation of episomes leads to cellular senescence.
• Discovered method to cure 2-micro circles from yeast strains.
• Established that Acetyl-Coenzyme A Synthetase 2 deletions have reduced life span.
