PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Bjorkman Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA — Graduate Student 2004 – Present Researched viral-encoded receptors responsible for Herpes Simplex Virus immune evasion Created human cell line to inducibly express HSV glycoproteins gD, gE, and gI Showed that HSV receptors gE and gI are able to internalize antibodies Measured binding affinity of herpes virus antibody receptors to different classes of antibodies
Kazazian Laboratory, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA — Technician 1999 – 2003 Researched polymorphisms responsible for differences in L1 mobile DNA element length Discovered that L1 activity positively correlates with genomic insertion length Helped to analyze differences in active L1’s contribution to the human genome Helped to create germline based mouse model for L1 activity
Bunick Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, TN — Summer Fellow 1999 – 1999 Researched high resolution 3D x-ray crystal structure of the nucleosome core particle Helped create protein expression system to produce milligrams quantities of histone H4
