-Implementation of wireless nanoparticles for simultaneous reporting and stimulation of electrically active cell types-Monitoring the intracellular degradation of DNA origami constructs labeled with multiple dyes via FRET changes, with analysis of the effect of increasing levels of complexity on degradation rates

Washington, Dc

Completed my doctoral dissertation dissertation research with Dr. Igor Medintz and Dr. Ian White. My research focused on the design and implementation of nanoparticle-based intracellular sensors to study extracellular pH and potential drug actuation modalities.

Laboratory For Radiation And Polymer Science

Studying the use of nitroxides in polymers for various biological applications. The lab uses various radiation sources, including a LINAC, Gamma Irradiator and Neutron Reactor in numerous studies.

Full time graduate student and Teaching Assistant. I work in an endocrinology lab working with Melanin-Concentrating Hormone Receptor 1 and its co-localization to Caveolae in adipose cells.

Endocrinology Laboratory

Cultivated adhesion BHK and adipose cellsPerformed fluorescent microscopy experiments using confocial and compound microscopesIsolated lipid rafts using sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation Utilized western- blot procedures to co-localize receptor and lipid raft locationDifferentiated adipocytes utilizing multi-day protocols

Worked on a Stem Cell related research projectParticipated in tri-weekly meetings to design a device from scratchPresented monthly on progress to doctors and professorsExplained and answered questions after each presentationAssisted in writing the claims and device overview sections for a Preliminary PatentCollected background information and Prior Art patents

Yarema Lab At Johns Hopkins University

Evaluated cell's reaction to drug analogs relative to toxicity, cell cycle analysis and protein expressionProcessed cells by culturing, passaging and harvesting for experimentsCompleted Caspase Assays, Periodate- Resorcinol Assays, Western Blots, and ELISA experimentsUtilized cell- counting, Flo-Cytometry and luminescence measuring machineryProficient in pipetting and aspiration techniques, sterilization procedures for hood usage and methods for freezing and thawing cells using dry ice
