Houston, Texas Area

Working under Dr. Jin Wang in the Immunobiology Lab at HMRI:Trying to elucidate the specific transcription pathway for converting naive T cells into memory T cells.Studying how autophagy in memory B cells prolongs the life span of these cells compared to progenitor cells or germinal center B cells. Also studying the effects of Latency Reversing Agents on Memory T cells infected with HIV. Working towards reactivating infected T cells and eliminating them, along with other infected leukocytes, to try to develop a cure for HIV. This project involves in vitro studies with human blood and in vivo studies with mice.Research includes the use of Biosafety Level 2 agents and mice. Conducts frequent Molecular Biology protocols including DNA cloning, gel electrophoresis, Reverse Transcription, PCR, FACS and Western Blots.

Greater Boston Area

Working within the Center for Engineering in Medicine, I am responsible for:-ordering of research-related and other supplies at the CEM-tracking the budget and spending for 20+ grants-tracking and updating information about the CEM on social media and websites-Research as a technician on specific lab research projectsResearch techniques include:-Mammalian cell culture: plating, feeding, passaging, and cryopreserving. I have worked specifically with Fibroblasts, Keratinocytes, MUTZ cells, MCF-7 cells, and Hepatocytes.-ELISA-DNA and RNA Extraction-Reverse Transcription-PCR-Liver Perfusion-Making buffers such as PBS and DMEMI am currently assisting with several protocols, including:- Liver-On-A-Chip project: Creating a microscale organ mimic that reduces the media to cell ration in hopes of not diluting any proteins, products, and signaling molecules that are released by hepatocytes. We are hoping that our model of a human liver can be used in therapeutic testing and other research so that use of animal and whole human models can be reduced.-Combining the Liver-on-a-chip with a prototype of a Kidney-on-a-chip to test drug metabolizing relationships and media-to-cell ratios.-Allergy-on-a-chip: hoping to create a technology that eliminates the need for patients to have an allergy tested on their own skin, but instead to donate skin cells and have them grown on our microchip and tested with allergens for an immune response. This project uses 4 types of cells and many cytokines and growth factors.-Human liver perfusion (ongoing protocol), which endeavors to develop techniques that will enhance liver survival time outside of the body. This will keep donated organs viable for longer periods of time, so that the organs can reach the intended recipient without being damaged.

Houston, Tx

Working as an intern in the Center for Child Health Research & Policy division, this internship is focused on advocating for policy changes that influence children in Texas. These changes are specifically in education and access to health care. One policy brief that I have helped write is to help schools include more physical activity for students into their school day. This should help children's physical and mental health, as well as their academic status. This internship includes working in close collaboration with the group Doctors For Change in the Texas Medical Center, attending their policy meetings and writing the minutes for them. It also includes site visits and tours to the local food bank, charter schools, hospitals, homeless shelters, and local juvenile penitentiaries, to learn more about ways we can improve every child's life in Texas. Current local health and education indicators are researched and published in a book called Growing Up in Houston. We are taught about the current atmosphere in the Texas legislature, and how we can approach policy changes from different perspectives. We end our internship with a presentation of our policy findings at the beginning of August.

National School Of Tropical Medicine, Houston, Tx

Working under the guidance of Dr. Peter Hotez, I am advocating for greater awareness and policy for Neglected Tropical Diseases. I also do background research for some of Dr. Hotez's publications. As a project intern at Baylor College of Medicine's National School of Tropical Medicine, in collaboration with the Baker Institute of Public Policy, I collaborated with Rachel Lee and Dr. Peter Hotez to write a Systematic Literature Review over current research on Toxocariasis in North America. The shocking prevalence of this disease, as shown by our paper, will hopefully influence more comprehensive studies, better diagnostic tools, and better treatments in the future. This paper has been submitted to the Public Library of Science (PLoS) and is currently under review.
