Developing an early drug discovery platform for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in the lab of Dr. Steven Altschuler and Dr. Lani Wu. My approach addresses two longstanding obstacles to an effective ALS drug discovery pipeline: patient-to-patient heterogeneity and the complexity of disease pathophysiology.

Berkeley, CA

Studying how the transmembrane voltage (ion gradients across the outer membrane) present in all cells regulates growth and can contribute to cancer. Developed quantitative microscopy approaches to study voltage in cells that are ~100x higher throughput than traditional techniques.Additional hands-on experience with:-Design and screening of protein.

University Of Southern California

Characterized microbial synthesis of semiconducting fibers that were later used in electronics (field effect transistors) using microscopy techniques.

Berkeley, CA

Studied mechanisms of antibiotic resistance through directed evolution of efflux transporters in the lab of Professor Danielle Tullman-Ercek

Los Angeles, CA

Used computational chemistry to predict how structural changes to the GFP chromophore would impact photophysical properties.

Doctor Of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Chemistry
