Biology & Neuroscience 2028
My research focuses on engineered proteins, specifically EdUn, that combines DNA-binding function and thermostability. I will express and purify the protein, use electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) to measure DNA-binding affinity and circular dichroism (CD) to assess protein stability.
Neuroscience 2027 | Minor: Religious Studies
My research focuses on designing and experimentally testing thermostable variants of cellulase enzymes to improve their stability and function at high temperatures. This will be done via experimental techniques such as protein expression, purification, and enzymatic assays.
