Hello! I’m Alexandra (she/her). I've recently graduated with a Master's of Science in Biological Chemistry from The University of Michigan, and am also a 2020 Neuroscience and Chemistry graduate from William & Mary. I just completed a fellowship researching neurochemistry at the National Institute of Drug Abuse, and I am currently looking for neuroscience related research positions in order to gain more scientific experience. Eventually, I plan to pursue PhD programs in Neuroscience.Academically, I am most interested in Neuropharmacology, Structural Chemistry, Molecular Genetics, Molecular Neuroscience, & Systems Neuroscience. I see a great need for more research to be done on the brain abnormalities associated with psychiatric illness, both as a means to develop more effective treatment options, and as a means to destigmatize mental illness through increased scientific literacy. After completing my formal education, I plan to work as a college professor to lead research projects and share my passion for neuroscience with others. In my free time, I am an accomplished painter (some of my work can be found at alexhicksart.com), and I enjoy hiking and reading horror novels.
A career timeline built from the work history available for this profile.
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
In this position I designed and conducted experiments to investigate the role of G protein-coupled receptor heteromers as targets for drug development in neuropsychiatric disorders. I most often used the method of Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer on HEK293T cells transfected with various receptor conditions. Additionally, I was trained in mouse.
Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States
At the University of Michigan I completed a master’s thesis under Dr. Raymond Trievel on the structure and biochemical function of the Legionella pneumophila histone methyltransferase enzyme RomA/LegAS4. I collected a 1.75 Å data set of a LegAS4-SAH-H3K4me1 crystal complex, and additionally utilized various biochemical assays to determine the.
As an undergraduate I worked in two different research labs. In Dr. Randolph Coleman's in silico modeling of pathogenesis lab I researched the symptom of psychosis in Parkinson’s disease and its associated risk factors, culminating in the construction of a computer model featuring relevant neuroreceptors and the corresponding molecular pathways found in.
My junior year I lead an Organic Chemistry II laboratory session for 20 undergraduate chemistry students. Here I ensured appropriate application of experimental techniques, explained organic chemistry concepts and the corresponding applications to the experiments, and protected student safety and acted swiftly and calmly when complications arose..
I accepted an internship position for the summer of 2020 in a neuroscience lab under Dr. Yi Pang, but unfortunately the program was cancelled before the start date due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here I thrived in a fast-paced work environment, memorizing complicated drinks and resolving grievances promptly. Additionally, I maintained a clean work station and store and enforced the new protocols that came with the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this role I helped children through the setup and successful completion of various experiments, explained various scientific concepts to children in terms they could understand, and managed large groups of young children during activities such as field trips and birthday parties. This job really showed me how much I enjoyed scientific teaching.
Towards the end of high school I shadowed an Elementary school counselor, independently leading group lessons and helping in various other aspects of the job. I also organized lesson plans for a Social Skills group consisting of three young girls who struggle with communication abilities, and led one-on-one weekly mentoring sessions with a troubled student.
Thesis: The Effect of H3K4 Modifications on Nucleosome Recognition by Legionella pneumophilia Effectors RomA and LegAS4
