• Extracted and analyzed data from the Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) trauma database to identify trends, outcomes, and best practices in trauma care.• Perform statistical analyses on collected data using software such as SAS or R to create visual representations of findings.• Wrote and published research papers on trauma care with a specific emphasis on over and under triage in accordance with national trauma guidelines.

• Examined the therapeutic role of biomolecules, specifically miRNA and TNF-alpha derived from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) exosomes.• Performed miRNA functional studies to simultaneously analyze RNA and protein expression.• Constructed databases to quantitively analyze and record the different biomolecules produced within exosomes.• Manipulated autophagy self-digestion pathways to upregulate the quantity and quality of miRNA’s produced with an aim to make therapeutic cells more efficient

• Analyzed the synergistic effects of the SREBP1 transcription factor and DAXX on lipogenic gene expression within carcinogenic cells.• Examined cancer cells’ metabolic reprogramming mechanisms to rely on de novo lipogenesis under sparse exogenous lipid conditions• Created abstract for the University of Florida Journal of Undergraduate Research and presented findings in front of live audience at the University of Florida’s Undergraduate Research Symposium

• Analyzed protein localization of Daxx and correlated it to the upregulation of SREBP1 transcription factor production.• Conducted cellular immunofluorescence antibody staining with a focus on cellular protein localization• Assessed the effects of Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors on the expression of Fatty Acid Synthase within breast cancer tissue.

• Proposed a genomic pathway for the enzymatic conversion of azasugars, specifically the conversion Nojirimycin to Deoxynojirimycin• Constructed primers to isolate genes of interest within BAM bacteria with considerations to non-specific binding and hairpin formation• Performed PCR, Gel Electrophoresis, Sequence Analysis, and Transformations to confirm the presence and functions of catalytic proteins.
