• Melanoma Group 2014-2015, Breast and Gynecologic Oncology Groups 2015-2018• Clinical responsibilities: scheduling appointments and procedures for patients enrolled to oncology clinical trials, performing ECGs, collecting vital signs, ordering lab tests, coordinating tissue and sample collection, and processing and shipping biological samples. • Regulatory responsibilities: enrolling eligible patients to oncology clinical trials, managing institutional review board (IRB) submissions, and collecting and entering patient data for multiple clinical trials.

• Leukemia Project: Synthesized diblock copolymer micelles to load hydrophobic chemotherapy drug Parthenolide and increase its solubility. Drug-loaded micelles preferentially induced apoptosis in leukemia stem and progenitor cells over healthy human cells. Investigated kinetics of drug uptake into micelles and cytotoxicity of drug-loaded micelles. • Publication in Biomacromolecules: “Poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride)-Based Diblock Copolymer Micelles” http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/bm500468d• Poster Presentation of Research Findings at Biomedical Engineering Society Annual Conference, Seattle, WA (September 2013)

• Workshop Leader for ‘Principles of Biology’ and ‘Genetics and the Human Genome’• Prepared lesson materials and guided workshops for small groups of students• Assisted professors in evaluation of student work and development
