• 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.
