• Performed research for 6 projects (2 main; 4 additional) to refine the understanding of cancer signaling pathways and elucidate mechanisms behind observed changes upon genetic alteration to cancer cells
• Discovered that a posttranslational modification of a major tumor suppressor protein created a synergistic interaction with another tumor suppressor protein o Verified this pathway in breast cancer, glioblastoma, and.
• Identified a novel signaling pathway involved in the regulation of the cell cycle, apoptosis, and angiogenesis o Found that a major oncoprotein is responsible for a post-translational modification to a tumor suppressor.
• Research has focused on identifying the mechanisms responsible for cancer progression when there is an imbalance of tumor suppressors and oncoproteins
• Used molecular biology, cell biology, tissue culture, and imaging techniques extensively
• Participated in the successful planning and writing of grant applications to the NIH and internal funding sources

• Worked in different capacities on several bone growth and fracture healing studies. Gained experience in animal handling, histology, microscopy, and multiple imaging techniques/analyses including the SkyScan software.
• Performed imaging of bone tissue, including fluorescence microscopy and micro computed tomography (microCT)
• Compiled project data for a diverse group of scientists made up of physical therapists and basic science researchers
• Presented findings at a campus-wide symposium

• Created an in silico control system to deliver insulin to diabetic patients o Worked on a team with 4 other biomedical engineering students to solve a problem in quantitative physiology o Conducted a literature review.
• Designed and tested a prototype for monitoring intracranial pressure in infants using ultrasound o Worked on a team with 5 other biomedical engineering students to create a less invasive method of monitoring infant.
• Presented all findings to faculty, students, and staff in the Department of Biomedical Engineering

Indianapolis, Indiana Area

• Worked on a team consisting of three engineering students and three business students to aid in the licensing and commercialization of an innovative new technology designed to increase the lifespan of arteriovenous.
• Gained experience in FDA regulations, presenting to venture capitalists, and interdisciplinary approaches to research and commercialization.http://bus.iupui.edu/news/archive/iupui-program-offers-kelley-business-students.
