Research Assistant
Keene, New Hampshire, United States
Fall 2023-May 2024: On a project identifying lineage and genetic differences in Zostera marina, a circumpolar eelgrass. We investigated how individuals manage with changing spacial factors, evaluating their ability to adapt via the spread of genetic material and relationships to one another. I also worked on a chemistry project, synthesizing novel compounds found in OLEDs. I evaluated known compounds' spectral qualities as well as created novel synthetic pathways for new compounds based on those previously published.2022-2023: Studied the rare allergy FPIES using bioinformatic techniques. Processed the data using QIIME2, Songbird, and QURRO in bash. Presented multiple posters on FPIES projects. Was on a protein sequencing project for a semester under the same PI, where I learned proper lab technique, western blotting and protein identification techniques, and analytical skills.
