Fourth year PhD candidate in pharmacology and toxicology (PTX). My current research endeavors investigate the potential of bioengineered miRNA molecules as a cancer therapy and aim to elucidate their role in the postranscriptional regulation of genes involved in absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of chemotherapeutic drugs. Member of the lab of Dr. Aiming Yu

With the use of stability indicating assays and data analysis, we help our clients find viable formulations for their potentially therapeutic biologics. I have had the opportunity to participate in the stabilization of numerous proteins and monoclonal antibodies in both liquid and lyophilized formulations. By quantifying the stability of each formulation under a number of stress conditions, we gather data for our clients that helps bring their therapeutic molecule closer to being a viable drug… Show more With the use of stability indicating assays and data analysis, we help our clients find viable formulations for their potentially therapeutic biologics. I have had the opportunity to participate in the stabilization of numerous proteins and monoclonal antibodies in both liquid and lyophilized formulations. By quantifying the stability of each formulation under a number of stress conditions, we gather data for our clients that helps bring their therapeutic molecule closer to being a viable drug product ready to improve the human condition. Duties of the Research Associate II position include providing vital training for new associates and assuming additional responsibility in the maintenance of key lab instrumentation. Show less

I held tutoring hours to assist Organic Chemistry students with their coursework and in preparation for exams. Hours were also spent grading and answering students' questions in the lab portion of the course.

I performed organic chemistry research in the pursuit of a robust synthetic path to create vinylaziridines using commercially available and easily isolable precursors. I participated in directed research under my mentor Dr. Jason Kinsbury in the spring semesters of 2016-2018 and was awarded a Swenson fellowship to perform paid research in the Summer of 2016. A novel formylation procedure was developed in pursuit of the Kingsbury group's overarching goal of vinylaziridine synthesis.
