About
I am currently a postdoctoral research associate in the Biological Sciences Department in Rachel Brewster’s lab. My research focuses on the role of zebrafish Ndrg1b in regulating cell adhesion in early embryonic development through the regulation of N-cadherin protein trafficking. I am passionate about bridging the gap between science and policymakers, and hope to pursue a future career as an advocate for improving public trust in science.
