As a postbac in the lab of Dr. Dax Hoffman, I worked with the staff scientist, Jiahua Hu, to elucidate mechanisms that regulate the surface expression of Kv4.2, a voltage-gated potassium channel that modulates the excitability of CA1 hippocampal dendrites. Because these ion channels are believed to play important roles in memory formation, Kv4.2 is.

During my time as an undergraduate, the Health Professions Club was the largest club at Appalachian State with over 100 active members. As president, I organized and directed the large group meetings and worked with special interest group leaders to benefit our members and the community through the promotion of healthcare.

• Honors Thesis Project: To explore the possible role of organic anion transporters in invadopodia function. If organic anion transporters are overexpressed in invadopodia, they may promote tumor invasion and therefore.

Laboratory Of Dr. Darren Seals, Boone, NC

• Project: To determine, in the context of prostate cancer, the effects of the four Tks5 splice forms on the formation and function of invadopodia, cytoskeletal structures that are believed to promote tumor metastasis
• Taught a variety of techniques to both undergraduate and graduate members of this laboratory Collaboration with Dr. Maryam Ahmed March 2014-January 2015
• Project: To determine the effects of wild type and mutated Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) on invadopodia development in Src-transformed mouse fibroblasts
• Established this project which was pursued full-time by a graduate student

Laboratory Of Dr. Anthony Furano, Bethesda, MD

• Project: To determine which proline-directed protein kinases (PDPKs) phosphorylate ORF1p as well as their effects on L1 retrotransposon replication in Hela cells
• Demonstrated that activated MAPK13 phosphorylates ORF1p specifically on PDPK sites and may promote L1 retrotransposition in Hela cells
