BioAmp Diagnostics is dedicated to improving patient care and fighting the rise of antimicrobial resistant bacteria through innovation in diagnostic testing. Our platform amplification technology detects resistance biomarkers directly in unprocessed patient samples, enabling rapid detection of antimicrobial resistant bacteria. We are building diagnostic tools that will enable medical providers to make the right treatment decisions for patients suffering from bacterial infections.

As a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Niren Murthy's group, I have had a pleasure of working on a number of scientifically diverse projects, including developing unique strategies to overcome technological limitations contributing to the rise of antimicrobial resistance and leading undergraduate researchers interested in creating unique chemical tools to probe the activity of CRISPR-Cas9. It was here in Prof. Murthy's lab that the core technology that inspired the inception of BioAmp was developed.

As a graduate student in Distinguished Professor Pradip Mascharak's lab I worked on a number of projects. The scope of the lab encompassed traditional inorganic synthesis, biomaterials science, biochemistry, and biology.My primarily focus was on the design of systems using synthetic chemistry, materials science, and engineering to bridge technological gaps in biology. More specifically, I constructing systems that mimic the dynamic process of inflammation. Additionally, I led secondary projects focused on the design of light-activated metal nitrosyls, crystal engineering, and wound dressing development. The diversity of my research allowed me to explore a wide range of instrumentation techniques including (but not limited to) mass spectrometry, electronic absorption spectroscopy, single-cyrstal crystallography, and correlation NMR.
