Graduate Research Fellow
Duke University
Durham, North Carolina
Graduate Research in the Laboratory of Yong-hui Jiang, M.D., Ph.D. • Generated a genetically altered mouse line that mimics mutations found in autism patients and discovered autistic behaviors, abnormal protein function and altered synapse transmission in the mice caused by the gene disruption. • Discovered novel protein regulatory mechanisms for the protein that when disrupted causes autism. − These discoveries will enable pharmaceutical testing for the future treatment of autism patients. • Demonstrated leadership and management skills while collaborating with 5 interdisciplinary laboratories at Duke University and University of North Carolina in order to accomplish the analysis of the mutant mouse line.
Undergraduate Research Assistant

Salt Lake City, Utah
Undergraduate Research Assistant in the laboratory of Erik Jorgensen, Ph.D. • Studied the molecular basis of synaptic transmission, focusing on the mechanisms of synaptic vesicle fusion. Discovered a novel protein that regulates G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) using a genetic screen for molecules involved in dense-core vesicle function in C. elegans.
Undergraduate Research Assistant
University of Utah Health
