Research and Lab Work - Department of Biochemistry and Structural Biology:• Multi-year investigation into how distinctive molecular patterns associated with infection are recognized by the innate immune system and what defense mechanisms block viral replication within cells, with particular interest in restriction factors of host proteins that disrupt specific steps in the viral life cycle and form first line of defense against viruses and disease• Researched how evolutionary antagonism between viruses and their hosts' restriction factors shaped what organisms are susceptible or resistant to certain viruses• Developed understanding of how viruses evade defense mechanisms can open novel avenues for treatment of viral infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancer.• Used nuclear magnetic resonance to investigate kinetics of chemical reactions and participated in development of new computational tools to help science community understand driving factors of diseases• Applied advanced math and algorithms to analyze large research data sets for insight leading to clinical applications• Contributed to working research paper on how primate TRIM5α proteins recognize retroviral capsids and how they impair viral infectivity• Served as a College Peer Mentor for new cohorts, delivering educational support and guidance through hands-on teaching, mentoring, and facilitating research-oriented activities, fostering academic growth and college preparedness
