Work Experience:

Research Assistant, Dr. Li Zhang, Jan 2013 present

In order to study the heme regulation of a disease-related protein, I have designed and constructed mutants of the gene. I then purified the protein mutants and studied them using spectroscopy, affinity binding, 2D PAGE, and other techniques. I have narrowed down the region important for heme regulation and am preparing for publication.

Teaching Assistant, Dr. Hannig, Sep. 2012 May 2015

I was responsible for preparing appropriate growth media for Microbiology Lab, and for grading and leading workshops in various other classes.

LSAMP Research Fellow, Dr. Mandal June 2011 Aug. 2011

Running PCR and gels, studying fluorescent staining of tissue cultures, studying epigenetic effects of harmful, “non-toxic” chemicals on human cells.

Teaching Assistant, Jason DiStefano 2008 Spring and Fall

I was responsible for preparing chemicals and supplies before Chemistry Lab, assisting students and professor during lab, and cleaning up afterwards.
