As a Research Trainee at RI-MUHC, my journey is characterized by a relentless pursuit of knowledge and specialized practical skills. With a focus on somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), a GPCR that may be a prominent drug target, my work involved molecular cloning, CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and lentivirus production to unravel the complexities of Head and Neck Cancer. These cutting-edge techniques form the cornerstone of my research, supplemented to my background in Genetics from the University of Toronto.Currently, while advancing through my Master's of Science at McGill University, I am cultivating a deep understanding of experimental design and drug discovery. My approach is rooted in collaboration, critical thinking, and a growth mindset, driven by a passion for discovery. It's not just about developing therapeutics; it's about pushing the frontiers of scientific innovation and contributing to a future where discoveries in cancer research holds the key to saving lives.I am actively looking and applying for full-time opportunities within Canada with titles-- Research Associate- Research Technician- Laboratory Technician- Research AssistantInterests: Conducting Research and Development (R&D) towards Therapeutics, Technologies, or Academic knowledge.
