•Collaborated with a PhD candidate to research a myosin phosphatase regulator (MYPT1) in pancreatic cancer cellular mechanics using cell-based assays and a novel micropipette aspiration technique.•Maintained tumor cell lines to perform cell-based assays and cortex measurements weekly to gather data to analyze through ImageJ and Excel.•Prepared and analyzed dozens of Western Blots to identify concentrations of proteins in primary tumor and metastatic pancreatic cancer cell lines to determine if treatments affected cell shape. •Developed a protocol on how to utilize and troubleshoot the micropipette aspiration system used to measure cell cortical tension.

•Led and facilitated study group sessions of 10 biomedical engineering students for about 160 minutes each week to improve grades and learning for the Biomedical Kinetics & Thermodynamics core class.•Worked closely with the Rutgers Learning Center to determine the best strategies to aid the students’ learning. •Attended weekly meetings with the course instructor to communicate goals for class and address student concerns.
