My overall career goal is to understand how intracellular signals integrate with the extracellular environment to balance progenitor maintenance with lineage specification during mammalian organogenesis. These concepts are relevant to understanding how to generate functional lineage-specific tissue types from human pluripotent populations for treating human disease. To begin my path, I chose to complete my Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Dalton at the University of Georgia. During my Ph.D., I defined intracellular signaling mechanisms controlling Gsk3β activation and localization, a driving force behind ES cell differentiation. A Critical to aspect of manipulating progenitor populations towards specific cell types will be to understand signaling networks and factors regulating their generation during organogenesis. Therefore, I focused my postdoctoral research on areas focused on progenitor/progeny relationships during organogenesis. Under the guidance of Dr. Wright at Vanderbilt, I became a key player in multiple projects that designed, from the ground up, tools and strategies for understanding the behavior and propagation of endocrine progenitor populations during pancreas organogenesis. These research efforts have led to a redefinition of our endocrine-cell specification models, through identification of a novel mitotic Ngn3-low expressing progenitor state that feeds production of endocrine-committed cells. The conceptual overlap between my Ph.D and post-doc, and my discoveries regarding endocrine-cell specification, have provided a solid foundation on which to begin the next phase of my career. During this phase I hope to continue, either independently or in the biotech arena, research focused on understanding the mechanisms and factors regulating progenitor/progeny relationships during organogenesis, as a means to provide information that will improve our ability to generate relevant cell-types from human pluripotent sources for the treatment of disease.

Nashville, Tennessee
Researching new ways to understand and treat pancreatic cancer.
Greater Nashville Area, TN
My postdoctoral research is focused on understanding the molecular signals, cellular behavior and 3D niche surrounding the birth of endocrine cells during pancreas organogenesis.
During my tenure as a postdoctoral research fellow, I have had multiple opportunities to serve as a mentor to my fellow lab members (both graduate students and technicians), which involved training, coordination of research efforts, analysis of data, and deciding future directions.
I served as a co-instructor for CBIO341 Module: iPS cells, Directed Differentiation and Epigenetics, Program in Developmental Biology. I was responsible for leading several literature discussions and, with a grad student co-instructor, organize and implement a week of the module.
Athens, Georgia Area
During the 5.5 years of my tenure at UGA I studied the molecular signaling pathways that govern embryonic stem cell self-renewal/differentiation. I obtained a Ph.D. and two first author publications as a result of this research.
Athens, Georgia Area
I served as a Teaching Assistant for an introductory to biochemistry and molecular biology class.
Athens, Georgia Area
I served as a teaching assistant for an introductory to animal and dairy science class.
Gainesville, Florida Area
During my tenure at the University of Florida I studied the synthesis of a unique cofactor responsible for CO2 reduction in Methanobacterium Thermautotrophicus. This research resulted in one first author publication and a Master's degree.
Gainesville, Florida Area
I was given the responsibility of coordinating and mentoring two undergraduate researchers whose goal was to aid in the progress of my research project. Both of these researchers obtained authorship on my 2003 publication in Biological Procedures Online.
Gainesville, Florida Area
I was responsible for teaching coordinating a microbiology undergraduate laboratory of approximately 30 students.
Gainesville, Florida Area
I was responsible for teaching and coordinating a Microbiology laboratory course of approximately 30 students during the fall semester of 2001.
Gainesville, Florida Area
As an undergraduate researcher I was in charge of an independent research project focused in the cloning and overexpression of an enzyme responsible for a catalyzing a key step in the synthesis of Methanopterin in Archaea.
