Profile Summary

I am a PhD researcher in the fields of immunology and molecular biology, having received my PhD in microbiology from the University of Colorado Anschutz. I also have substantial experience in virology, microbiology, and neuroscience with a focus on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I completed my first postdoctoral position at the German Centers for Neurodegeneration (DZNE) in Bonn, Germany before returning to Colorado to serve as a research associate studying central B-cell tolerance. My expertise extends to scientific publication in peer-reviewed journals including data analysis, writing and editing manuscripts, constructing figures, and final publication of articles. My technical skills include murine models, genetic analysis including qPCR and RNA-seq, and flow cytometry. I can advise in the running of such experiments and in data analysis of results. I look forward to working with anyone who nees advice or assistance in furthering their own scientific endeavors.
