As a Fulbright Scholar, I conducted a 6-month research visit at Harvard Medical School/Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, in the laboratory of Dr. Joseph D. Mancias. I studied how resistance mechanisms, such as autophagy ("self-eating") and the unfolded protein response, affect how cancer cells are able to cope with stress and develop therapeutic resistance. Additionally, I led a method development project on proteomic analysis of organelles.
