Rochester, NY, US

• Lead a team to write and reviewed 100+ toxicological exposure and hazard assessments
• Reviewed novel risk assessment methodology for chemical environmental hazards in consumer products and water
• Complied extensive literature reviews for chemicals of interest in standardized regulatory format.

WI, US

• Associations Between Socioeconomic Status and Bispecific LV20.19 CAR T-cell Therapy Outcomes
• Designed and executed post-hoc hypothesis testing to examine associations between socioeconomic status and CAR T-cell CD19/CD20 therapy neurological outcomes
• Found low socioeconomic status patients had higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines and worse associated neurological and quality of life adverse events during and after treatment
• Published 2 journal articles and presented findings at 5 regional conferences
• PI: Jennifer M. Knight, MD, MS

Dallas, Texas, US

• Tracing Cerebral Metabolic Shifts Using Hyperpolarized 13C-labeld Compounds with Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Imaging (MRSI)
• Designed and executed explorative experiments that utilized these novel MRSI technologies to examine metabolic changes in the brain after traumatic injury and other neurological disorders
• Tracked regional and chronological changes in cerebral pyruvate metabolism after brain injury, pinpointed a timeframe for maximal metabolic shift, and demonstrated translation of findings from rodent studies to IRB.
• Extrapolated novel technique to explore amino acid and pentose phosphate pathway metabolic shifts in brain and cardiac cancers
• Published 8 journal articles and presented findings at 8 conferences, including 4 international conferences and 4 regional
• PI: Jae Mo Park, PhD

Washington, DC, US

- Integrated computational toxicity assessment models into water safety guideline and regulations across multiple disciplines- Calculated new threshold of toxicity of pesticides in water utilizing updated literature analysis and updated public regulatory assessments- Contributed to official regulatory and guidance documents such as: Health Advisories.

Sacramento, California, US

• Developed a novel computational methodology to predict developmental toxicity of environmental hazards using ToxCast and ToxRefDB with focus on integration into regulatory policies
• Contributed to literature review for regulatory guidance levels of consumer product chemical hazards including bisphenols, phthalates, and PFOS/PFOA

Davis, CA, US

• Cognitive Performance of Juvenile Monkeys After Chronic Fluoxetine Treatment
• Trained, executed, and analyzed data from Continuous Performance Task (CPT) in juvenile rhesus macaques given fluoxetine to assess changes in reward delay behaviors
• Found chronic fluoxetine chronically administered to monkeys caused a decrease in sustained attention and an increase in reward-based impulsivity in a reward delay task
• PI: Mari Golub, PhD

Davis, California, US

• Neurological Impact of Altering Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase (sEH) Activity
• Utilized rodent behavioral models alongside molecular analytics to assess impact of sEH inhibitors on neurological pain, inflammatory pain, and induced seizures
• Found sEH inhibition reduced inflammatory pain, tonic portion of seizures, and had no effect on neuropathic pain
• PI: Bruce Hammock, PhD

• Microbial Safety Assessment of California Delta Swim Sites
• Collected, filtered, and tested for harmful microbes within California Delta under California Environmental Protection Agency’s the Safe to Swim directive
• PI: John Atwell, PhD
