Worked under Dr. Patrick Gallagher investigating mutations related to inherited red cell disorders. Specifically, we investigated the role of enhancers in both normal and atypical erythropoiesis. My major roles included DNA and RNA extraction from whole blood, cell cloning for the purpose of DNA and cDNA amplification, and exposure to cell culture of human undifferentiated erythroid analogues (Hel, CD34+, K562).

Worked under Dr. Matthew State providing research and technical support for a large Autism genetics project sponsored by the Simons Autism Foundation (SFARI). Hundereds of simplex families from the Simons Autism Collection were subject to whole exome sequencing for the identification of de novo mutations in Autism probands. Candidate variants that were found in the proband but not in the parents were confirmed by targeted resequencing. I assisted with variant resequencing by designing targeted… Show more Worked under Dr. Matthew State providing research and technical support for a large Autism genetics project sponsored by the Simons Autism Foundation (SFARI).

Candidate variants that were found in the proband but not in the parents were confirmed by targeted resequencing. I assisted with variant resequencing by designing targeted PCR primers, amplification of subjects’ genomic DNA, confirming PCR products on agarose gels, and analysis of resulting sequence traces for heterozygosity to confirm variant identity.
