• Utilized advanced computational analysis techniques, including machine learning algorithms, to conduct a case study on an individual transatlantic swim, examining their profound effects on the gut microbiome.• Designed and executed a specialized mouse protocol, integrating computational models to observe the temporal impact of short-chain fatty acid producers on tissue development.• Led laboratory instruction for Biology of Cell and Organisms, guiding and mentoring 60 freshman and sophomore-level undergraduates.• Assumed the role of primary instructor for Genetics Laboratory, overseeing the education of 25 junior and senior-level undergraduates per semester.

• Negotiated with a vendor for lab supplies resulting in a savings of an excess of $5,000. • Restructured protocols that resulted in greater efficiency and less errors. • Execute quality control checks on library prep protocols for next-gen sequencing, identify errors, and troubleshoot to ensure optimal performance. • Analysis of sequence and quantification of the data to establish parameters.

• Perfected procedure that utilizes micropipetting to extract, purify, and isolate rhizobium strains from root nodules.• Used PCR sequencing and gel electrophoresis to isolate unique rhizobium and then prepped them for 16s rRNA sequencing. • Performed differential and localized staining of plant tissue for comparative analysis to determine the expression of peptidase HrrP during each stage of nodule development. • Improved purification process of DNA from Ball python by modifying procedure to include both ammonium acetate and magnetic beads. • Discovered a putative deletion in TYPR1 and a missense polymorphism in PMEL as likely candidates for ultramelanistic color morphs in Ball pythons by analyzing genes of interest from PCR and comparing genotypes in SnapGene and ApE. • Conducted a population study of 28 Ball pythons that identified association of TYR polymorphism and missense polymorphisms in SLC7A11 and PMEL as potential candidates for albino color morphs. • Abstract for “Developing tools for prairie restoration: Identifying helpful rhizobial bacteria” accepted to conferences:- Eastern Michigan University Undergraduate Symposium 2020- Michigan - American Society for Microbiology Conference 2020
