Current
Oct 2015 - Present
Molecular Biologist
- Managed a RNA interference technology project, including fungal selection to study mycotoxin biosynthesis. Created high-throughput screening methods to select fungal strains from peanut environments.
- Developed molecular biology approaches to study of the mycotoxigenic fungi Aspergillus flavus, and A. parasiticus in peanut environments.
- Developed RNA-seq experiments to identify transcription factors involved in the global regulation of the aflatoxins and cyclopiazonic acid. Implemented basic bioinformatic tools.
2013 - Sep 2015
Graduate Research Assistant
University Of Georgia
- Studied beneficial microbes in peanut and maize environments, focusing on the Aspergillus section Nigri group, black aspergilli, that showed endophytic interactions with peanut and maize commercial lines.
- Developed two novel methods to isolate and characterize black aspergilli from soil and plant debris samples. Developed fluorescent microscope-based approaches to dissect the plant-microbe interactions in peanuts and.
- Collaborated in several plant-microbe interaction projects, including the Bacillus mojavensis project, a strain that was isolated from the Mojave Desert in Arizona. B. mojavensis was effective to control F..

~6 yrs
Graduate Teaching Assistant
- Developed molecular biology experiments to study plant-microbe interactions in the Fusarium verticillioides-maize pathosystem.
- Identified upregulated genes in the presence of the plant antibiotic benzoxazolinone (BOA). An ABC transporter gene was identified as highly upregulated when compared to the control.
- Cloned a cosmid library on nitrocellulose macroarrays using F. verticillioides M2136 isolate, an endophyte in maize. Screened the cosmid library. An ABC transporter gene was cloned and used to transform M2136.
