I work in the Smolke lab
Education
- 2007-2012: PhD in Chemistry,Carleton University in the DeRosa lab
- 2003-2007: BSc in Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Carleton University
Research interests
My past, current, and future research aims to improve the workflow of the selection and characterization of small molecule-binding aptamers towards the ultimate goal of developing both in vitro and in vivo biosensors that link important metabolite concentrations to readily detectable signals for high throughput screening and diagnostics.
