I am a Translational Science Doctoral Student researching genetic and drug therapies for pediatric pulmonary diseases. My work includes screening FDA-approved drugs for transcription factors such as FoxM1 and Tbx4, which are involved in cancer, tissue regeneration, and pulmonary hypertension. I am developing nanoparticle-based gene therapies targeting lung tissue to alleviate Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia and designing a TBX4 gene therapy for mesenchymal cells as a potential treatment for TBX4-related lung diseases. Additionally, I use scRNA-seq analysis looking at murine and human samples to identify new transcriptional targets for gene therapies in mesenchymal cells for BPD.

Junior Specialist studying autophagy in the context of genome stability and neurodegeneration using yeast as a model organism. I utilize genetic tools and microscopy to dissect pathways of autophagy during replication stress. Through this analysis, we aim to understand the receptors and targets for degradation, as well as the role of autophagy in maintaining phase separations between liquid-liquid compartments during replication stress. We apply these same tools to understand how Alpha Syn-nuclein, a protein implicated in Parkinson’s, can impair and disrupt proteostasis. Our ultimate goal is to understand the mechanisms for future cancer and proteostatic therapeutics
