Biophysics and Structural Biology

Research Summary:

My research focuses on a class of receptors known as GPCRs and determining the impact that mutations in these receptors has on their ability to function. These receptors are common drug targets which makes understanding how they function crucial.

Why did you choose to attend PULSe:

I chose to attend PULSe because of the wide variety of research opportunities available. COing out of undergrad I wasn't entirely sure what I wanted to work on but I knew the PULSe program would give me the opportunity to explore labs and find my best fit.

About Me: (Hobbies and Interests when not in lab):

When I am not in lab I enjoy watching sports, especially football and basketball. I also enjoy playing all sorts of board and card games.
