As a highly capable and creative biochemist and organism biologist, I possess expertise in protein aggregation, stress-signaling pathways, and inflammation. With a solid background in both "in vivo" and mammalian tissue culture I have developed a range of functional cell-based assays. My research fellowships, awards, and scientific publications have honed my communication and interpersonal skills. Currently, I am a Scientist at Elsie Biotechnologies where I contribute to identifying novel oligonucleotide therapeutics and conduct research on efficacy and safety. In the future, I hope to continue leading projects, developing innovative research approaches and mentoring others. Outside of work, I enjoy fitness, beach volleyball, traveling and spending time with my feline companion.
