Research
I am an undergraduate Health Sciences major at SFU. My research interests focus on immunology, infectious diseases, and the molecular mechanisms underlying host–pathogen interactions. Through my coursework in immunology, molecular biology, and biochemistry, I have developed a particular interest in how the immune system recognizes and responds to viral infections. My laboratory courses have also given me hands-on experience in protein analysis, purification, and biochemical techniques. I joined the Pantophlet Lab to deepen my understanding of antibody discovery and infectious disease immunology while gaining hands-on research experience. As an undergraduate volunteer, I support routine laboratory operations, including preparing and maintaining supplies, sterilizing equipment, and keeping the workspace clean and organized. I look forward to further developing my laboratory skills and contributing to research experiments as I gain experience.
Other Interests
In my free time, I enjoy exploring new restaurants and cafés with family and friends, going for walks outdoors, swimming, and traveling to different parts of the world to experience other cultures.
