My experience includes a broad range of biological research including botany, immunology, clinical research, biochemistry, and genomics. I have a doctorate in biochemistry & biophysics with a focus on fungal epigenomics and protein-protein interactions of the centromere and kinetochore. I'm currently working on genetic variant classification using next generation sequencing (NGS) data and helping to develop web-based tools for analysis and automated reporting of clinical NGS dataIn addition to research, I have a strong interest in science communication. Relevant projects include chairing a Gordon research seminar for post-docs and graduate students, hosting a college radio show on graduate student research, and writing for TERRA research magazine.
