Investigated molecular signals involved in embryonic neurite guidance using gene editing techniques like CRISPR in the marine species, Nematostella vectensis, a sea anemone.

St Augustine, Florida, United States

Developmental embryologist. Researched molecular signals involved in patterning the embryonic body axis through the use of chemical inhibitors and Morpholino in two marine annelid species.

Woods Hole, Massachusetts, United States

Course titled "Embryology: Concepts & Techniques in Modern Developmental Biology." Contracted for the annelid model (1week each summer).Tasks • conducing in vitro fertilizations for various annelid species• demonstrating and assisting students in experimental deign, basic fixation, antibody labeling and microscopy techniques• exposing students to various embryonic, larval and adult annelid species.

Researched how multiple interactive environmental stressors impact larval survival in Mercenaria mercenaria, an aquaculture species, and horseshoe crabs.
