Working on a research project under guidance from Doctor Jiun Do MD, PhD to regenerate neural relays between the eye and brain following injury to the optic nerve (as occurs in glaucoma). The main objective is to edit pathways involved with cell survival and axon extension of neural stem cells using genetic tools (CRISPR/Cas9, subcloning, transfections, PCR, gel electrophoresis, chemiluminescence-based assays, neurite tracing using Fiji, histology, flourescent microscopy).

Carried out electronic (EPIC) and paper chart patient data collection into MS Excel. Conducted patient recruitment phone calls for a study that compared two trabeculotomy techniques. Did lab work with rats that consisted of retina dissection, brain tissue sectioning, preparing tissue for immunohistochemistry, measuring/creating solutions for research use, and more.
