Combined research technician and research assistant role for Dr. Joergen Kornfeld at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology to assist in establishing his new lab space and reconstructing and optimizing our custom automated gradient stainer. Past MPhil in the Basic and Translational Neuroscience program at the University of Cambridge. Research project focused on characterization of monoamine G-protein coupled receptors in Octopus vulgaris, housed in the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology under the supervision of Dr. Amy Courtney and Dr. Bill Schafer. I am really passionate about using cephalopods as a model system and curious about why we select specific animals to explore in order to better understand ourselves. As a side project, I am also interested in pain and it’s transition to chronic pain especially in relation to chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS). During my undergrad at UW-Madison I worked in Dr. Meyer Jackson’s lab under the supervision of Dr. Kate Scheuer. This project was in transgenic mice exploring the relative layer and column activation of Parvalbumin interneurons in somatosensory barrel cortex using the hVOS system.
