Work History
Graduate Researcher
Revelo Laboratory
09.2021 - Current
- Designing and executing experiments for my thesis research, mentoring and training undergraduate researchers, and performing experiments for collaborators
- Projects: Designing and implementing experiments to investigate how bariatric surgery modulates non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) related inflammation and how Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2) mediates these beneficial effects
- Projects: Designing and implementing pilot experiments to investigate the role of macrophage lipid metabolism on NASH progression, specifically macrophage-specific deficiency of fatty acid binding protein 4 (Fabp4) and perilipin 2 (Plin2).
