Research History

  • Medical Student -- Grinband LabStudied the use of BOLD fMRI in the evaluation of various intracranial neoplasms. Investigated use of BOLD in glioma patients treated with Avastin and to predict meningioma grade. Identified patients for inclusion, designed studies, processed and analyzed data, and performed statistical analysis.2019 - 2021
  • Medical Student -- Bruce LabDeveloped an etoposide resistant murine glioma cell line. Tested the susceptibility of the novel cell line to drugs that induce ferroptosis, using viability assays, flow cytometry, glutathione assays and qPCR. Designed experimental hypotheses and methods. Performed all studies and data analysis.2019 - 2021
  • Research Assistant -- Hatten LabResearch on the role of Astn2, which is associated with psychiatric illness, in synaptogenesis. Helped with experimental design and method optimization. Used cell animal-based models to elucidate the binding partners of Astn2 in synapses using methods such as ChIP, WB, and cloning2010 - 2016
