As a Research Assistant Intern at MD Anderson Cancer Center, I contribute to projects focused on oncology research. My work involves leveraging hands-on skills in cancer cell culture, protein purification, and Western blot techniques to advance research efforts. Collaborating with experienced professionals, I support data collection and analysis for impactful results in cancer studies. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Economics at Colby College. My academic and professional journey demonstrates a commitment to developing expertise in clinical research, with a focus on translational science and operations in healthcare.
Immune Monitoring Laboratory @ Maus Lab
• Guide students through laboratory instructions, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of neurobiology concepts. • Monitorelab safety protocols to maintain a secure learning environment. • Formulate chemical reagents and manage animal care protocols to support independent student research.
• Characterize organic species and trace elements using ICP-OES, quantifying Phosphorus concentrations to assess environmental nutrient loading and chemical composition.
• Quantified target protein degradation in tumor xenografts via Western blot to evaluate the efficacy of Degrader Antibody Conjugates (DAC), directly supporting pre-clinical biomolecular engineering roles. • Managed the expansion of cancer and organoid cell lines, ensuring adherence to laboratory SOPs for reliable data in cell-based assays. • Processed xenograft tumor tissues for immunohistochemical analysis.
• Collaborated with The Jackson Laboratory and Maine General Medical Center on clinical data analysis projects. • Cleaned and validated over 500 patient records, ensuring data accuracy and compliance with research standards. • Automated data retrieval workflows using PowerBI and Excel, enhancing operational efficiency by 60%. • Integrated clinical, genomic, and demographic data to support oncology decision-making processes.
