- Started the Awareness Announcements initiative to raise awareness and promote community action for common diseases as a series of videos - Helped organize speaker events from physicians and school-wide competitions
Used the genomes from tens of thousands of COVID variants to calculate the rate of mutation of COVID around the world, including countries such as Brazil and Norway. We also determined the loci of a few prominent mutations that increase viral binding affinity to ACE-2 receptors.
Mapped the biochemical pathways of three classes of drugs with painkilling properties (opioids, depressants, NSAIDs), and connected that with the observed effects of those drugs on sciatica.
