• Epitope tagging RNA sequences with n-terminal extensions to examine whether they translate to mitochondrial or cytosolic proteins within a yeast model• Using immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry to see if potential mitochondrial protein candidates have a function in integrating stress response

• Investigate novel immunotherapy’s mechanism of killing solid breast tumors via CRISPR-Cas 9, thus helping to create new adaptive cancer treatments• Designed a 10-week long research project and will present the results to 500+ people at a poster session

• Bioengineered CAR regulatory T-cells in hope to increase their suppressive function and shed light on combating autoimmune diseases• Organized bonding events for a cohort of 6 summer students and encouraged knowledge and skill exchanges

• Collaborative analysis of metagenomes from a range of anaerobic and aerobic environmental samples to determine which pathways/enzymes correlate more strongly with the coenzyme A disulfide reductase and NADH-dependent polysulfide reductase• Conducted BLAST on targeted genomes with the end goal of finding similarities between unknown enzymes and recorded enzymes in the database
