Throughout my tenure with Prof. Grewer, I have dedicated myself to unraveling the complexities of amino acid transporters (SLC1, SLC6 and SLC38 families), merging functional, kinetics and structural insights to innovate small-molecule inhibitors. These endeavors aim to modulate amino acid transporter function, targeting transporters implicated in various cancers and neuro diseases. I am an experienced researcher with a rich background in biochemistry, electrophysiology and computational science, boasting a comprehensive skill set that includes Mammalian Cell Culturing and Transfection, Patch-Clamp Recording, Immunofluorescence, FLIPR, Plasmid Cloning, Molecular Dynamics Simulation, Computational Chemistry, and Molecular Cell Biology. My expertise further spans Protein Expression and Purification, Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy, and Radiolabeled Amino Acid Uptake Assays. My professional attributes include self-motivation, independence, a profound capacity for learning, and a commitment to collaborative success, making me an ideal candidate for roles that demand both individual initiative and teamwork.
