Use protein structures and molecular modeling softwares to design and engineer therapeutic proteins to match project needs, as well as optimize and advance the Xilio therapeutic platform.Perform in vitro and biophysical characterization of designed/engineered proteins to examine protein function as well as identify and develop structure-function relationships.

Cambridge, Ma

John Williams Lab - Founding of Xilio TherapeuticsUse of X-ray crystallography to determine structures of antibody-peptide complexes followed by molecular modeling to engineer functional cancer therapeutics.Worked closely with a small team in an industry-like environment to design, produce, and test candidate immunotherapeutics, resulting in funding from top-tier venture capital firms and relocation to Boston with Xilio Therapeutics.

Structural and functional analysis of bacterial toxin/immunity pairs involved in the contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) pathway from pathogenic organisms Burkholderia pseudomallei, uropathogenic Escherichia coli 536, and Salmonella typhimurium. By further characterizing these proteins thought to be involved in bacterial pathogenesis as well as biofilm formation, we seek to identify drug targets for the development of novel antimicrobials.

Los Angeles, Ca

Conducted independent genetic research on several plant genes relevant to modulating flowering times for agricultural purposes, specifically by determination of the CIB1 transcription factor binding site on the Arabidopsis thaliana FT gene promoter and identification and characterization of ZTL (ZEITLUPE)-interacting proteins within the Arabidopsis thaliana proteome.
