Research and clinical training built across a decade of translational work.

Core and advanced clinical rotations across internal medicine, surgery, and subspecialties. Integrating research exposure into clinical training, with particular attention to immunology-relevant presentations across disciplines.

Dual-lab placement: mechanobiology of cancer-associated fibroblasts in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (Lagares Lab); immune integration in alveolar type 2 organoid models (Medoff Lab). Developed expertise in 3D patient-derived organoid platforms, single-cell approaches, and translational immunology.

Doctoral research on miR-15a/16 regulation of T-cell proliferation. Designed and executed GOF mouse model; mapped MEK1–ERK1/2–Elk1 signalling axis. Graduated with PhD in Molecular Biosciences & Bioengineering.

CRISPR guide RNA design and preparation; KO/KI model generation; genotyping and validation pipelines for transgenic models.

Multiplex diagnostic platform for bladder cancer using cell culture and viral transfection workflows.

In vivo and in vitro experimental design; IACUC-approved protocols; immune-material biocompatibility. Core contributor to biomaterial vaccine platform published in Nature Biomedical Engineering.

GLP/GMP surgical studies; TK/PK; multi-species preclinical models; histology and clinical pathology coordination.

Autopsy support; surgical specimens; cytology including FISH and ThinPrep methodology.
