Assisted in lab research at the College of Pharmacy’s Ophthalmic Pharmacology Laboratory at Texas Southern University under Dr.Sunny Ohia. Successful in validating that hydrogen sulfide has potential therapeutic effects on iris muscle in the eyes. Dose-response graphs confirmed the response from the contraction and relaxation of iris muscle when exposed to different drug dose concentrations of L-cysteine, carbachol, indomethacin, atropin, and Aminooxyacetic acid. Duties include the preparation of fresh krebs buffer daily, preparation of serial dilutions of drugs, dissection of bovine eyeballs for the iris, set-up for the dissected portions of the iris on the organ bath instrument, analyzation of data and results using Microsoft Word, Excel, Graphpad Prism, and Graphpad InStat to create the dose-response curves to determine the ideal concentration of the drug that stimulates the best response.

Assisted in the 1890 Summer Research Program and worked under Dr. Zeenat Lila. Research was focused on insulin and diabetes and the DNA modification in diabetic and obese people. Research was focused on the DNA modification in diabetic and obese people that validated that carboxymethyl-2’-deoxycytidine(CMdC) is produced in human systems.
