Immunohistochemistry and H&E staining performed on hundreds of patient-derived endothelial tissues, analyzing the vascular phenotypes seen in Port-wine Birthmark after laser treatment, resulting in a publication in the British Association of Dermatologists Journal.Currently studying the effects of various spike proteins and drugs on mitochondrial activity in endothelial cells. Cell-culturing, exosome isolation, and western blotting performed to isolate and characterize spike proteins before use in endothelial cell-culture.

Organized and genotyped over 100 mice, assessing relevant genotypes of targeted proteins for future experimentsCultured SCA-1 cells to assess induced stress through pressure overload, analyzing the expression of relevant proteinsDesigned project that looked at heart failure through pressure overload in mice models. Predicted that pressure overload created autophagy and proteasome inhibition which causes UCHL-1 protein to be released through exosomes. UCH-L1 circulating through the heart causes heart failure and further damage to endothelial cellsPerformed qPCR to characterize and quantify nucleic acids of pressure overloaded heart tissue harvested from the mice colony .
