• Performed non-human primate (NHP) brain dissections to assess biodistribution and transduction of engineered AAV capsids
• Developed brain tissue collection protocols and traveled to CRO to oversee NHP necropsy
• Assembled a data package for a leading CNS capsid by quantifying brain wide transduction rates via ISH and IHC

Palo Alto, California, United States

• Developed therapeutic approaches for proteinopathies in neurodegenerative disorders.
• Used mouse genetics, in vivo pharmacology, viral rescue vectors, and electrochemical detection techniques to prevent protein aggregation and promote neuron survival in a prion-based model of Parkinson’s Disease.
• Validated novel fluorescent biosensors for measuring neuromodulator release
• Managed collaborations with external labs and core facilities.
• Co-founded an internal research forum for neuroscience investigators to present their work.

Chapel Hill, North Carolina

• Elucidated the role of brain circuit dysfunction in neuropsychiatric disorders.
• Used viral vectors, stereotaxic surgeries, electrophysiology, immunohistochemistry, and gene expression assays to identify and reverse pathological behavior in addiction and anxiety disorders.
• Pioneered a whole brain unbiased screen of neural network activation to pharmacological agents using tissue clearing and light sheet microscopy.
• Trained and mentored junior students as they pursued independent projects.
• Identified cutting edge neuroscience investigators and hosted them in a seminar series of external investigators.

University Park, PA

I was the project director of an NSF-funded research project that examines the neural consequences of second language learning. My responsibilities included subject recruitment, EEG testing, experiment design, and data analysis. I was also responsible for conducting behavioral experiments, and performing image QC of fMRI scans.

University Park, PA

I was a tutor for introductory undergraduate science courses in biology, chemistry, and statistics. I was employed through TRIO, a federally funded program which provides additional academic resources to students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
