• Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Human Genetics • Fellow on Metabolism NIH T32 training grant • Developed new and innovative techniques to image tissue regeneration in whole-mount, in combination with genetic lineage to track the fate of tissue-specific stem cells, that led to a paradigm shift in the understanding of the cellular dynamic processes that occur to regenerate a complex three-dimensional tissue • Used a combination of in vivo and in vitro techniques to study the spatially and temporally complex signaling between tissue-specific stem cells and other cell types (e.g., immune cells) during regeneration • Investigated how metabolism and mitochondrial function regulate cell behavior and decisions • Managed multiple collaborative research projects concomitantly from inception to conclusion• Wrote detailed protocol for novel tissue clearing and imaging technique to ensue successful knowledge and skills transfer • Independently conceived ideas, developed study designs, executed experiments, and completed data analysis and interpretation • Provided scientific, technical, and career development guidance for two graduate students, three laboratory rotation students, and three lab technicians • Attended 2 conferences, 2 invited speaker presentations, 2 poster presentations, 3 publications (2 accepted, 1 in preparation to submit), 2 grants written, 1 grant/fellowship awarded, written multiple IACUC amendments
