Lab of Dr. Kim Janda• Designed and synthesized compounds which achieve potent and selective targeted irreversible inhibition of botulinum neurotoxin A• Developed a method using a commercial FRET assay to improve irreversible inhibitor screening, easily obtain irreversible inhibition kinetic constants, and predict mechanism of inhibition• Coordinated collaborators across four institutions to drive projects, communicating scientific concepts clearly across chemical, biophysical, and biological disciplines

• Lab of Professor Ping Lee• Optimized stability enhancement of a nitric oxide source by polymer conjugation• Created electrospun nanofiber polymer mats designed to accelerate wound healing

• Edited and assembled biweekly college-wide newsletter for Innis College• Designed graphics pertaining to Innis College freshmen orientation merchandise, general merchandise, and branding

• Lab of Professor Shirley Wu• Characterized chemotherapy pro-drug loaded novel polymer hybrid nanoparticles for treatment of triple negative breast cancer• Modified formula to optimize drug loading and efficacy

Finland

• Planned synthetic pathways for target molecules using retrosynthetic techniques and literature searches• Executed planned syntheses from reaction to purification, obtaining highly pure test molecules, two of which were identified as lead molecules• Worked with a team of Research Scientists on a hit-to-lead and lead optimization project• Presented synthetic plans and results in structure planning and synthesis meetings

• Lab of Professor Shirley Wu• Characterized chemotherapy pro-drug loaded novel polymer hybrid nanoparticles for treatment of triple negative breast cancer• Modified formula to optimize drug loading and efficacy

• Lab of Professor Michael Thompson• Independently performed a series of experiments to test deposition and surface analysis of surface modified polycarbonate and polyester for the purpose of reducing sepsis• Analyzed data, obtaining significant results presented in a detailed document
