At the Laboratory for Living Systems Engineering led by Professor Megan McCain, I am conducting research on the myometrium using tissue engineering approaches.

Validated synthetic promoter elements that were identified in the lab to determine their expression levels in mammalian cells. Found promoters that had higher expression levels compared to the CAG promoter.

In the Landry Lab, I created Cas9 protein and peptoid single-walled carbon nanotube constructs for plant genome engineering to achieve more sustainable plants. At the end of the program, I wrote a scientific research paper, participated in a poster session, and presented my summer research.
