Mentor: Dr. Morgan Huse/ Dr. Ben Winer• Investigated, the role of GEF/GAP biology and its mechanistic role on phagocytosis• Biological analysis programs and techniques such as flow cytometry, western blot, cell culture, along with both in vivo and in vitro mouse models were used to tackle the project • Maintained lab mouse colony• Conducted genotyping experiments using mouse models to get a specific breed needed for laboratory members.

Mentor: Dr. Morgan Huse• Selected out of hundreds of applicants to conduct biomedical research at Weill Cornell Medicine under the ACCESS undergraduate research program.• Built upon the previous summer project and characterized the importance of WDR1, a protein hypothesized to play a major role in actin severing at the immunological synapse for efficient CTL effector function.• Performed transfection and transduction techniques on cell lines derived from two specific mice models in which the T lymphocytes were derived and introduced to target cells.• Performed cell culture, cloning, TIRF microscopy, and PCR to achieve the project goal.• Collaborated with graduate mentor and PI to execute the project goals.

Mentor: Dr. Morgan Huse• Selected out of hundreds of applicants to conduct biomedical research at Weill Cornell Medicine under the ACCESS undergraduate research program.• Characterized the importance of cofilin, a protein hypothesized to play a major role in mediating lymphocytes to kill tumor and infected cells through specificity within the immunological synapse.• Performed cell culture, cloning, TIRF microscopy, and PCR to achieve the project goal.• Collaborated with graduate students to expand, plan, and execute the project goals.

Mentor: Dr. Mary Baylies• Received a TIMS summer scholars research fellowship for funding this work during the summer.• Characterized mechanisms driving muscle disease, specifically rhabdomyosarcoma, and identification ofnovel therapies.• Performed proliferation assays using an in vivo rhabdomyosarcoma drosophila line.• Executed project by performing cell on rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines.• Executed drug screens using rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines.• Collaborated with peers to plan and execute experiments.
