I have worked on numerous research projects for the Unit of Collaborative Research (UCR) Simian Vaccine Evaluation Unit (SVEU) within the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the Tulane National Primate Research Center (TNPRC).Specific projects and task orders include:P186 – Efficacy of DNA & Protein Co-Immunization Protocol to Protect Macaques from SHIV Infection in Control of SIVmac239 Viremia (SVEU Task Order-18)P191 – Identifying Correlates of Protection Afforded by DeltaGY: SIVmac239 Attenuated Virus Vaccine in the Pigtail Macaque ModelP204 – Elicitation of Alpha4beta7-Competitive Antibodies in Rhesus Macaques by a Synthetic V2 ImmunogenP209 – Evaluation of the Immunogenicity of a Stabilized MD39 ENV Glycoprotein Trimer when Delivered Through a Novel Alum Slow Release Technology with or without Other AdjuvantsP213 – Evaluation of the Immunogenicity and Efficacy of HIV-1 SOSIP Envelope Protein Vaccine Delivered with or without Recombinant Viral Vector Vaccines

Enforced GMPs and SOPs during production.Performed Lab testing to ensure that produced food adhered to our quality standards.Helped prepare for and pass USDA audits.

I work under Mark Byrne Ph.D. where I assist undergraduate students conducting labs in physics covering a range of topics in classical mechanics.

Tutor for logic, nursing chemistry, general chemistry, and organic chemistry.

I worked as an Organic Chemistry TA for Lesli Bordas Ph.D. where I helped supervise and assist Organic Chemistry students with weekly labs.

I worked in the lab of Nobel Laureate Arieh Warshel Ph.D. where I gained experience performing computational simulations of Biochemical processes. Specifically, I performed a number of Free Energy binding computations between proteins and kinase inhibitors used in the treatment of some forms of cancer.

I worked in the lab of Amber Krummel Ph.D. where I built a microscope for an instrument that would perform 2D-IR Microscopy. My work included writing LabVIEW programs to communicate with a camera and microscope stages, creating Autocad designs for the microscope mount, as well as assembly, alignment, and testing the microscope's components.
