Experience Summer 2011

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department,

University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

Project: The effects of mitochondrial stress of cancer

progression and obesity

Research under the mentorship of Masahiro Higuchi, PhD. My

research focus is on the investigation of metabolic and

respiratory function of the hepatocellular carcinoma

(liver cancer) cell line. The ultimate goal is to derive

molecular mechanisms that better explain the relationship

between stress induced on the mitochondria and exhibition

of phenotypes such as metastasis and obesity.

Experience December 2010- May 2011

Continued Chemical Engineering Department, University of Wyoming

Conversion of Methanol to Polyethylene (PE) and

Polypropylene (PP)

Research and project development of an operating plant for

the conversion of methanol to olefins. The focus of this

project was to design an operable process detailing the

conversion of crude methanol to light olefins, mainly

propylene and ethylene. Comprehensive economics,

profitability analysis and process description design were

presented at the end of the project.

Preliminary experiments were carried out towards the

synthesis of some novel arlidene sulfonamides that might

contain interesting biological activity by targeting

certain infectious diseases. Modification and further

work on this type of compound might lead to the discovery

of new therapeutic agents against a variety of diseases.
