The goal is to present our findings at a conference, such as the Society for General Internal Medicine, and prepare an abstract.

9/19-6/20 Selected as one of two inpatient quality improvement project leaders. The

focus of the project will be to reduce the time it takes for nursing staff to

be able to contact the appropriate provider for their patient. The goals of

this endeavor are to improve patient outcomes, increase nursing satisfaction, improve collegiality among nursing staff and providers, and decrease the number of rapid responses.

Teaching Experience

8/08-6/09 Served as a paid adjunct lecturer in the Department of Biology at

the College of Staten Island, CUNY to teach Bio 106, an introductory three hour per week lecture course for non-majors and students interested in health studies such as nursing and physician’s assistant.

residents with protected research time. The time was spent on a

project involving serum lactate levels and patients with diabetic

ketoacidosis to ascertain if there were a prognostic relationship

between the two as well as a novel biochemical and physiologic

mechanism to explain the increased serum lactate observed in

patients with diabetic ketoacidosis. The goal is to prepare a

manuscript and present the findings at a critical care conference.

9/08-6/09 Worked in the molecular neuroscience laboratory of Dr. Probal Banerjee. One project was to complete the determination of the molecular mechanism by which clozapine induces EPSPs in mouse prefrontal cortex slices. Techniques used include extracellular electrophysiological recordings, immunohistochemistry and biochemical methods such as Western Blotting and co-immunoprecipitation. This work was funded by a work-study program.

6/06-8/08 Worked in the chromatin biochemistry laboratory of Dr. Chang

Hui Shen. This research has culminated in two first author

publications.
