Nanoscience and Radiochemistry Thesis: Leveraging Bio-Inspired Molecules for Cancer TheranosticsMy thesis work involves two projects. The first is the design and analysis of peptide sequences that respond to enzymes that are produced my metastatic cancer. The second project involves radio-labeling antibodies that target tumors in murine models.In addition.

-Engaged in business development by sourcing new clients with whom I built lasting relationships.-Provided technical support for researchers using the Biogelx hydrogel products.-Wrote scientific blog-style articles published on Biogelx.com.

Generated relationships with academic and industry researchers who had use for 3D cell culture models.

Working for both the department of Chemistry and the Maritime Security Center, our projects focused on:Acoustic detection of invasive insects at ports of entry. Developing new materials for use in 3D printing as hydrogel scaffolds for tissue engineering. Teaching undergraduate chemistry laboratory.

Part of the nanoscience initiative, I work with peptide-based hydrogels which function as a synthetic extracellular matrix for three-dimensional cell culture. I am exploring possible therapeutic applications for these biomaterials as tissue scaffolds for regenerative medicine.We perform cancer cell therapy experiments in the gels as well.In addition to.

I worked on projects that explored the effect of a specific protein produced by the kidney in three disease models:Chronic kidney diseaseMelanomaPancreatic CancerI performed procedures such as:Hybridoma Cell cultureAntibody purificationWestern immunoblotting Isolation of genomic DNA from rodent tissuePolymerase chain reactionRNA IsolationHemacytometer cell.
