Relevant Experience

Undergraduate Student Research at the Kaplan Lab

September 2011-December 2014

§ In-vitro mutagenic cloning of RNA Polymerase I and III onto Polymerase II structures to assess evolutionary divergences

§ Cloning of Polymerase II RPB2 variants to examine meaningful post-translational modifications, by bacterial transformation, amplification, purification, and spot assays

§ GFP-tagged microscopy of RPB2 to study cause of failed cellular transport of Pol II for variants RPB2 1080A and 1080Q

§ Conducted large-scale genetic screen of Pol II RPB1 conserved domain, trigger loop, using 18 different growth conditions, a library of several million variants, and high-throughput analysis

§ Investigated genetic connections between two conserved domains, the trigger loop and bridge helix, within Pol II by spot assaying single mutations and double mutations

§ Proficient in Linux commands, Javascript, and Python Bioethics Forum

September 2010-May 2012

§ Facilitated discussion of current events of science in a practical method, visiting topics like stem cell research, scientology, and artificial intelligence
