• In-vitro characterization of primary human T cells and CAR T products in terms of potency,viability, phenotype, and function.• Investigated potential genetic or phenotypic markers associated with specific treatmentoutcomes in order to evaluate and inform product development.• Developed assays to evaluate novel markers of stable chromosomal integration and cellsenescence, as well as DNA toxicity associated with non-viral delivery of constructs.

• Investigated the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in both cancer and developmental in-vitromodels.• Utilized CRISPR/Cas9 and other gene editing techniques to elucidate the molecular mechanismsunderlying various human cancers and embryonic development (naïve and primed stem cells).• Contributed to a project involving human in-vitro Parkinson’s disease models, which wasprincipally focused on potential molecular homeopathic targets utilizing gene edited(CRISPR/Cas9) stem cell lines.

• Investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying visual perception.• Focused on the neuroanatomical and functional development of the retina, including the role ofneuronal plasticity and the various cell types involved, most notably melanopsin-containingretinal ganglion cells.

• Investigated the biological mechanisms underlying neuropathological illness, particularSchizophrenia and Parkinson’s disease.• Studied the distribution and role of specific proteins and neuronal types in cortical developmentin postmortem human brain tissue and in-vitro neuronal cultures (differentiated from iPSCs).

• Studied the neuroethological basis of social behavior using the ant species Pheidole dentata as aneuroethological model.• Investigated task-performance and age-related changes in the density of microglomerulisynaptic structures and examined the corresponding transformations in social behavior.

• Data reduction and analysis of Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs)• Analyzed radial velocities, ammonia (NH3) column density, and generated temperature gradientmaps to formulate conclusions concerning these massive star-forming regions.• Discovered abnormal star-forming region by identifying non-traditional temperature data.

• Facilitated group and individual clinical sessions and collected data evaluating their efficacy.• Conducted experiments evaluating physiological and potential neuroanatomical abnormalitiesin patients with Social Anxiety Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Autism.

• Carried out a study investigating retrieval-induced forgetting within a variety of distracter, reward/punishment, and delay conditions.• Collected and analyzed subsequent data.
