Working in the research lab of Dr. Nathaniel Heintz on the function and dynamic of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in the developing Purkinje neurons.Computational biology:• general NGS data processing and statistical analysis• Bulk and single cell RNA-seq differential expression• ATAC-Seq and ChIP-seq differential accessibility/binding • BS-Seq and OxBS-Seq DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation analysisMolecular biology:• FACS to purify rare neuronal cell types• RNA/DNA extraction and processing• NGS libraries preparation• Single molecule FISHOther:• Microscopy• Analysis of electrophysiological dats• Animal behavior

• Organized career panels with data science professionals and small group interest meetings for students.

• Created an immuno-oncology newsletter for a large investment bank • Evaluated peer-reviewed articles for industry impact.

I worked on a neurodevelopmental project studying the in vivo dynamics of a neuropeptide expression and localizations. I also contributed to a project characterizing the structure and function of a bacterial polysaccharide deacetylase. I presented my work at the 245th National American Chemical Society meeting in New Orleans, at the Whalen Symposium at Ithaca College and at the 50th Anniversary of the Chemistry.

I taught undergraduate laboratory and discussion sessions in Chemistry, Biology, Genetics, and Biochemistry for ~20 students for 6 semesters.

I assisted students with Microsoft office problems and any other issues arising from using computers on campus.

I worked on a neurodevelopmental project focused on Cornelia de Lange Syndrome. I employed molecular biology techniques to interrogate protein-protein interactions.
