Research

I am an undergraduate Health Sciences major concentrating in Life Sciences. My research interests focus on infectious disease immunology, antibody responses to viral pathogens, and vaccine development against emerging infectious diseases. I am particularly interested in how antibodies recognize viral surface glycoproteins and how these interactions can inform next-generation vaccine design. Through my previous research experience in cell biology and biotechnology, I have developed practical laboratory skills in mammalian cell culture, flow cytometry, and molecular biology techniques. I joined the Pantophlet Lab to deepen my understanding of antibody discovery and vaccine immunology while gaining hands-on research experience. As an undergraduate volunteer, I support routine laboratory operations and look forward to developing additional skills in immunological and biochemical research techniques.

Other Interests

Outside the lab, I stay active by hiking and rock climbing, and I unwind by listening to music and reading, especially scientific papers that let me explore new ideas and learn about the latest research. I also really enjoy spending quality time with my friends and family, whether it’s catching up, sharing a meal, or simply enjoying each other’s company.
