LABORATORY EXPERIENCE_______________________________________________________________________
Research Assistant
 Discovered and presented a relationship between levels of AICD mRNA,age, and function of the B-cell affinity
maturation process in Danio rerio (zebrafish) by extraction of mRNA and analysis through Experion
electrophoresis and qPCR.
Biochemical
 Determined arginase kinetics and the presence of active isoforms in genetically modified strains of Nuerospora
crassa utilizing enzyme assays and analysis tools such as HPLC and UV-Visible spectroscopy.
Molecular Biology
 Utilizing aseptic technique, bacterial transformation was used to create a genomic library of Vibrio fischeri which
was then sequenced with Next-Gen sequence analysis.
 With multiple tests,Gram stains, and proper microscopy, A. faecalis and B. subtilis were identified from
unknown colonies of bacteria.
Chemical
 Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry were used to discover the identity and relative levels of terpenes/
other secondary metabolites present in browsed and non-browsed Atlantic White Cedar trees.
