RESEARCH EXPERIENCE (Principle Investigator: Dr. Marcus Weck)

• New York University, Molecular Design Institute Fall 2012-Present Synthesis of a small library of telechelic, secondary structure-like polymers containing noncovalent recognition motifs at their chain ends as building blocks towards large tertiary polymer constructs. Working to synthesize a rigid-helical, telechelic bulky poly(methacrylamide)s. This building block will be incorporated with other synthetic helical, sheet-forming or random coil polymers via noncovalent recognition motifs at their chain ends. The supramolecular assembly behavior of synthetic tertiary polymer constructs will be probed via a battery of analytical techniques.

• New York University, Molecular Design Institute and CUNY Summer 2016-Present Antifouling polymer for the patterning of functional amines using AFM thermochemical nanolithography. Designed a polymer scaffold containing thermally labile carbamates, crosslinking cinnamates, and varying ratios of anti-fouling sulfobetaine. The polymers were screened as candidates for AFM thermochemical nanolithography in order to pattern amines as functional handles for bioconjugation while preventing nonspecific protein absorption.

• Susquehanna University, (Dr. Geneive Henry) Fall 2011-Spring 2012 Isolation and purification of possible biologically active secondary metabolites from Hypericum mutilum.

Utilized silica gel chromatography, reversed-phase HPLC, and TLC to isolate secondary metabolites from various extracts of Hypericum mutilum at differing stages of purification. The compound structures were characterized on the basis of 1H, 13C and 2D NMR (HMQC, HMBC) data.

• Susquehanna University, (Dr. Geneive Henry) Fall 2010-Spring 2011 Acylphloroglucinol and xanthones from Hypericum ellipticum. An acylphloroglucinol, elliptophenone A, and two xanthones, elliptoxanthone A and elliptoxanthone B, were isolated from the aerial portions of Hypericum ellipticum together with three known xanthones. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses. The acylphloroglucinol and xanthones were evaluated for cytotoxicity using three human colon cancer cell lines (HT-29, HCT- 116 and Caco-2) and a normal human colon cell line (CCD-18Co). Manning 2

• Susquehanna University Summer Research Partners Program Summer 2010 New xanthones from Hypericum ellipticum.

Utilized silica gel chromatography, reversed-phase HPLC, and TLC to isolate secondary metabolites from the plant species Hypericum ellipticum. The structures were characterized on the basis of 1H, 13C and 2D NMR (HMQC, HMBC) data. Purification of an acetone extract of the plant afforded three trihydroxy-xanthones: 8-prenylxanthone. 1,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyxanthone, 1,4,5-trihydroxyxanthone, and 1,4,

• Susquehanna University, (Dr. Tammy Tobin) Fall 2009-Spring 2010 Bacteria that live in extreme coal mining-impacted environments. Investigated the impacts that bacteria have on ongoing remediation efforts in Shamokin Creek, a waterway severely impacted by acid mine drainage.
