Research Profile

Part of my undergraduate research was conducted in the lab of Dr. Christian Jobin investigating the role of the adhesin gene fimH in E. coli, specifically focusing on its implication in colitis and colitis-associated CRC. I continued this work and furthered collaboration in Dr. Jobin’s lab as a lab technician from 2019 to 2022. In the Fall of 2022 I started as a graduate student in the Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences in the advanced concentration of Cancer Biology. Currently, my graduate research focuses on the role of environmental factors in cancer progression and therapy response.
