Since graduating from Binghamton University in 2022 with my degree in chemistry, my research focus has on exploring and developing innovative approaches to treat cancer. My experience in analytical chemistry, cell biology, and pharmacology has allowed me to contribute to clinical trials, pre-clinical animal studies, and cell based research projects all with the goal of developing novel therapeutics for patients. My research passion lies in developing novel therapeutics, enhancing the efficacy of current treatments, and exploring how AI can be used to optimize drug discovery, development, and dosing.
My ultimate goal is to make valuable contributions to the optimization of drug development through rigorous work in academia. My background in chemical and biomedical research has taught me to approach problems with a critical and analytical mindset. In combination with my strong motivation and dedication, my experience in a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary environment has made me eager to work with like-minded individuals and experts in the field to continue making strides in cancer and pharmacology research.
With a passion for science, education, and science policy following my Ph.D. I plan to conduct post-doctoral work and eventually apply for tenure-track faculty jobs at R1 research institutions.
