Studying the impact of novel boron-containing-compounds as chemotherapeutics in various mammalian cells, such as pancreatic and breast cancer lines. The experiments largely consist of drug screening for novel compounds and mechanistic studies on promising candidates. This is part of an international collaboration with biologists and medicinal chemists with.

Researched the sensitivity of fission yeast to a particular class of chemotherapy drugs called nucleoside analogues. This class of drugs need an activator to function. This naturally exists within most organisms (including humans and yeast), but we found that minor changes in the gene encoding for this activator may significantly impact drug efficacy. This.

Studied the sensitivity of fission yeast under genomic stress. We deleted components essential to autophagy, such as the gene encoding for the Atg8 protein. In addition, we also deleted cell cycle checkpoints in the same cells before exposing them to chemotherapy drugs. Our goal was to better understand how autophagy regulates DNA repair processes that may.

Taught 23 students on the importance of critical thinking and designing good experiments. Course content includes lab math, analyzing research articles, forming a hypotheses and setting the stage to test them. In addition, I mentored students who are interested in seeking positions at a research lab.

Supervised 25 students gain hands-on skills such as aseptic techniques, streaking method, pipetting, media making, calculating colony forming units (CFU), how to use a microscope, etc. In addition, I marked assignments pertaining to the experiments that students conducted, such as determining an unknown bacteria based on certain characteristics.

Used the Dewey Decimal System to shelve, proofread and locate a collection of over 20,000 books, CDs, and DVDs at the Don Mills Branch. With a team of 10, we ensured that the library's organizational needs were met at the highest standard. Worked with all staff to pivot the services provided throughout the pandemic to ensure the best service for patrons.

Participated in the Fall 2022 Lab2Market cohort where limited teams were selected and funded to validate their technology. We received $20,000 in exchange for working full-time towards our start-up concept. The 4 month program allowed us to design a business canvas model and clearly articulate a value proposition before conducting 100 interviews with.

Helped to check-in patients for their scheduled appointments, which included the process of measuring the height and weight. In a 4-hour shift, there were 30-50 patients that needed to be checked-in for their appointment.

Conversed with 4-5 patients (per shift) on the neurosurgery ward and the epilepsy monitoring unit. Engaged in general conversations that were sometimes accompanied with a walk around the hospital. This was to decrease the feeling of loneliness when being admitted overnight in the hospital, especially during the holiday season.

Worked with a team of 8 to host events surrounding niche topics in sustainability. Within the 2020/2021 year, we hosted 5 events with 50-200 attendees per event. The purpose of these events was to connect students to industry experts with the idea that they'd be inspired to start a project. As a portfolio manager, I worked with interested attendees that.

Worked with a team of 8 to host events on niche topics in sustainability. Industry experts were invited to speak and collaborate with 50-100 attendees per event. Within the 2019/2020 year, we hosted 2 events where I was responsible for picking a venue, caterers, and other logistical tasks. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, our team worked together to pivot.

Facilitated office hours with teaching assistants (TAs) to answer lab related questions for a class of 200 students in Organic Chemistry I (CHY142). I was a co-developer of the laboratory manual consisting of at-home experiments for students to perform (students could not come to campus for lab due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Co-lead a group of 10 members to create an at-home experiment to be used for the Organic Chemistry I (CHY142) course. At-home experiments were developed for the students to fulfill their lab requirement since they could not physically be on campus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The experiment we developed involved synthesizing an acid-base indicator using.

Worked with PhD student, Denisa Luta, to test the terror management theory of death at the workplace. We recruited 400 participants that were categorized into two groups: (1) full time workers who did not come across death on the job; and (2) full time workers who do come across death on the job. Denisa Luta defended this study in early 2021 and completed.
