Ph.D. candidate at Yale University working in the Giraldez Lab (www.giraldezlab.org). I investigated translational regulation and non-canonical translation (regulatory translation, micro- and nano-peptides, translation of lincRNAs) in the developing zebrafish embryo. After using ribosome profiling to discover translated regions in RNAs previously thought.
