Our lab combines the fields of immunology, bioengineering and gene therapy to harness the immune system to treat solid tumors. When conducting my postdoctoral research on solid tumor immunotherapies, I focused on reversing the immunosuppresssive activity of the tumor microenvironment to improve the effectiveness of "tumor-melting" T cells delivered to.

Whitley/Markert Research Lab

Much of my laboratory work focused on the development of herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1) based vectors for treatment of gliomas. These oncolytic viruses are conditionally replicating and destroy tumors through a lytic effect, spreading the tumoricidal virus to neighboring cells in the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, they can be used as gene.

I performed a variety of primary and translational laboratory research as well are clerical tasks as lab manager. Many of the experiments regarding my research projects were conducted independently, with periodic review by the principal investigator.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Performed various experiments using classical bacteriology approaches as well as molecular biology techniques for characterizing/classifying bacterial strains from arid and hyper-arid environments for microbial diversity taxonomy.
