, 2007-present Honors and AwardsGraduate Research Fellowship, National Science Foundation, 2006-present ResearchMy research concerns nucleic acids as adaptive gene regulatory elements in mammalian cells. These molecules are able to detect changes in the cellular environment, e.g. cancerous or infected, and act accordingly. I'm currently designing and testing RNA molecules to efficiently knock down genes in cancerous cells but not in normal cells. Previously I've worked on human genetic evolution, drug delivery, tissue engineering, novel nucleic acids, and macromolecular transport across nuclear pores. Publications
ProtocolsHere is a list of protocols I have compiled. Please send me an email with any comments or suggestions. I'll put these somewhere more accessible later. ProteinMammalian
