Research

My passion for antiviral research has been strengthened through diverse research experiences, and my time in the Pantophlet Lab has allowed me to refine a broad set of laboratory skills, including flow cytometry, protein purification, and mammalian tissue culture. These skills support my contributions to projects aimed at developing more effective vaccines against viruses such as HIV and influenza. In addition to my research responsibilities, I serve as a key technical resource for the lab. I play an active role in mentoring and supporting colleagues, sharing expertise, and helping troubleshoot experiments. This has positioned me as the lab’s go-to person for technical guidance and day-to-day operations.

I take pride in fostering a collaborative and supportive environment where others can thrive, and I am committed to ensuring the lab continues to run smoothly and productively.

Other Interests

I am an easy-going and cheerful individual with great love for nature and travelling. I enjoy hiking, kayaking and skiing when on vacation. In particular, I love spending time with my family and friends meandering along a nice easy trail where relaxed and delightful conversations can take place.
