I am currently working in the lab of Dr.Paul Manis. My thesis work aims to understand the effect of noise-induced hearing loss on auditory neuron morphology and physiology. I will be utilizing electrophysiology, auditory brainstem response assays, immunofluorescence, and confocal imaging to elucidate the effect noise exposure has on the firing properties.

My thesis work initiated under the supervision of Dr. Damaris Lorenzo. My thesis project in the Lorenzo lab was understanding the role of cytoskeletal protein ßII-spectrin in cerebellar connectivity and function. I used various biochemical assays, histology, and advanced microscopy techniques to elucidate the effects of ßII-spectrin in murine models. We.

As a PREP scholar, I worked under the guidance of Dr. Mohanish Deshmukh investigating mitochondrial biogenesis after mitochondrial damage in primary neurons. I was able to utilize advanced time-lapse imaging techniques to look at the movement of GFP-tagged mitochondria throughout the axon of neurons.

I conducted research at the UNC Gene Therapy Center under the guidance of Dr. Steven Gray.. I specifically worked under Dr. Rachel Bailey, pushing for clinical applications of AAV in relation to giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) through the gene transfer of the GAN gene throughout the peripheral nervous system. I gained experience in animal dissections and.

As part of the USDA-Agricultural Research Services, I worked under Dr. Bruce Hibbard and the team at the Biological Control of Insects Research Laboratory (BCRIL). I studied and aided in the understanding of maize resistance from the western corn rootworm beetle by utilizing transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis maize. I was capable of completing delicate gut.

I worked in the lab of Dr. Michael Garcia, understanding the role of neurofilament medium in defining internode length, axonal diameter, and myelin thickness. This knowledge was applicable to various neurodegenerative diseases like Charcot-Marie Tooth, and Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. I was trained to successfully tease apart axons from nerve bundles.
