Research History
- Master’s Student within Neurology Department of VCUSOMFocus was on molecular mechanisms of programmed axonal degeneration in the setting of neuroinflammatory disorders, specifically whether inhibition of key molecular targets within the axonal degeneration cascade could confer protection against axonal loss and accumulation of disability in EAE model.2017 - 2019
- Laboratory Technician at the Center for Brain Immunology and Glia within UVaSOMProjects defined paradigms by which previously uncharacterized meningeal lymphatic vasculature allowed for CNS immune surveillance and its role in neuroinflammatory disease pathogenesis, as well as relationship between the perivascular system / meningeal lymphatics in context of CNS perfusion in AD2016 - 2017
- Laboratory Technician in Department of Neuroscience within the UVaSOMFocus on autonomic network architecture of the medulla, specifically in the C1 and RTN neurons. Our goal was to better understand how these groups augment blood pressure, respiration and immune function in various conditions and states of consciousness in clinical context of obstructive sleep apnea.2012 - 2016
- Laboratory Technician in Dept of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics at UVaSOMFocus was on the structure / function of the tonB-dependent membrane transport system of gram-negative bacteria for downstream applications in antibiotic design. My responsibilities entailed cloning / site-directed mutagenesis, recombinant protein expression, HPLC, protein crystallization screen etc2011 - 2012
