- Worked under Professor Anna Ritz in her computational biology lab to further develop ProteinWeaver, a website developed in the Ritz lab that visualizes and predicts protein-protein interactions (PPIs) of multiple animal species through Neo4j- Discussed findings and research in meetings within and outside of lab- Participated in meeting to discuss information found in relevant scientific research papers in bioinformatics and programming for project ideas- Learned to work with multiple programming languages including Python, Javascript, HTML, CSS- Learned to utilize software platforms including GitHub, Docker, Neo4j- Developed UI improvements to ProteinWeaver through custom interactable icons to effectively display Neo4j graph data- Collaborated and communicated with fellow lab researchers for development of ProteinWeaver and Signaling Pathway Reconstruction Analysis Streamliner (SPRAS)

Seattle, Washington, United States

- Worked in Nancy Allbritton's Bioengineering lab under mentor Cecilia Villegas Novoa to research the development of in-vitro recreation of small intestine tissue- Analyzed and gathered experimental procedures from various scientific research papers to personally create multiple chemical solutions that clear in-vitro small intestine tissue samples for visual analysis of tissue structure under confocal microscopy- Learned to use a confocal microscope to analyze cleared samples and enhance taken images using ImageJ- Learned to use a large variety of laboratory equipment, such as ultrasonic baths, fume hoods, and titrators- Recorded and presented research findings through a scientific presentation during a lab meeting- Reorganized and updated the Allbritton lab's chemical inventory and inventory record
