Research
I joined the Pantophlet Lab in 2022 as a volunteer, supporting studies on mutational pathways that influence the development of broadly reactive neutralizing antibodies targeting the conserved stem of influenza hemagglutinin. I completed my B.Sc. in Biological Sciences at SFU in 2023 with a minor in Health Sciences, and then advanced through successive research assistant roles in the lab. I am contributing to influenza immunization studies, antigen expression and characterization research, and antibody discovery workflows involving flow cytometry, ELISA/Octet analyses, and molecular cloning. Being part of the lab has strengthened my interest in immunology and vaccine research, and I plan to continue developing my technical skills while pursuing further academic and professional opportunities in this field.
Other Interests
I like watching movies and reading fictions in my free time. I love nature and often go on walks along the beach or in the woods. I have also been playing the flute for 14 years and enjoy playing or listening to music to relax. Additionally, I love spending time with my family and my dog, as well as cooking and bird-watching.
