I helped students in the lab to understand the technical procedures and molecular concepts of chimeric plasmid formation, mapping, and expression.

I worked with Dr. Andre Hudson on several plant biochemistry projects. One project that I work on involved tobacco seed purification and tissue culture for isolation of successful transformants. Another project involved the insertion of an aminotransferase gene into a vector plasmid and subsequent transformation of bacterial culture with the chimeric.
