Research

I joined the Pantophlet Lab in late 2025 after completing my M.Sc. in Microbiology & Immunology at Western University, where I evaluated melanoma therapeutics in animal models. I am now expanding my molecular biology skills and contributing to antibody discovery efforts within the PROGENITER program, with a particular interest in immunotherapies and the development of antibody-based countermeasures against viral pathogens.

Other Interests

In my spare time, I play hockey and basketball, enjoy skiing, and like to travel and explore new cities.
