Research Summary:

I currently study La Crosse virus, it is a relatively unknown virus that primarily affects children. I am looking at how the glycoproteins (or proteins expressed on the surface of the virus) interact with lipids and which lipids they interact with.

Why did you choose to attend PULSe:

I chose PULSe because I liked the freedom to rotate through and try other disciplines and the number of faculty associated allowed you to find a field that you are interested in.

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

Outside of lab I enjoy spending time with my friends, hiking, reading, and working out.
