Work History
Undergraduate Research Assistant
University Of Michigan Chemical Engineering
2023.04 - Current
- Work full time over the summers and part time during the school year.
- Research focus: Improvement of the transport and efficacy of antibody-drug conjugates in solid tumors
- Aid lab members with their projects and have projects of my own
- Conduct in vitro assays, data analysis, and present findings to PI
- Regularly attend lab meetings at Thurber Lab, BSL-2
- Make/modify antibodies, ADCs, and ISACs to modulate the PK and PD effects of these drugs to improve their transport and efficacy in solid tumors. Essentially, my preclinical research is focused on strategies to improve current therapies and make them more successful in the future; furthermore, this includes FDA approved and non-approved chemotherapeutic agents.
