• Establishing a high-throughput imaging pipeline to quantitatively screen morphological changes of yeast organelles following gene induction• Optimized high-throughput NGS protocols for yeast using the Bravo/Benchcel systems• Generated an alanine scanning mutagenesis yeast library for a protein of interest• Designed and validated assays for yeast colony growth in response to external stimuli• Computationally analyzed yeast colony images generated using plate-based imaging robots to quantify growth phenotypes• Mentored junior colleagues in molecular biology and strain construction

Berkeley, Ca, Us

• Reconstituted actin-driven vesicle release from supported lipid bilayers, a hallmark of clathrin-mediated endocytosis.• Demonstrated endocytic protein recruitment to bilayers follows in vivo sequence with a burst of actin assembly preceding vesicle release.• Trained undergraduate and graduate researchers.• Organized monthly speakers for the UC Berkeley yeast research community.

New Haven, Ct, Us

• Identified a novel “hot spot” of delivery to the base of the primary cilium in polarized epithelial cells.• Designed protocols to separately and simultaneously visualize the trafficking of newly synthesized and recycling pools of a tagged protein of interest by confocal microscopy.• Generated stably transfected MDCK cell lines expressing tagged proteins of interest.

De

• Studied protein trafficking in the laboratory of Dr. Felix Wieland.• Worked as a member of a team to characterize a conformational change in a protein of interest using biophysical approaches.
