I am a fourth-year undergraduate student studying Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. I have been in the Carpenter lab since 2019 and have enjoyed learning and researching long non-coding RNAs and their role in the inflammatory response. Using bioinformatics tools, I studied the differential expression of LincRNA-Cox2 within Alveolar Macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). I enjoy hiking, backpacking, and listening to music in my free time.
