Biography
I am a PhD candidate with an interest in tropical parasitic diseases and a passion for integrative biology. Broadly, my goal is to adapt and apply integrative approaches to the development of phenotypic and behavioral assays that examine the disruption of basal homeostasis in parasitic organisms. Currently, I am a fourth-year graduate student in Dr. Dennis Kyle’s laboratory where my project focuses on developing novel high-content imaging assays to incorporate Artemisinin-induced dormant Plasmodium falciparum recovery into our current understanding of pharmaceutical therapeutics and prevention of malaria infections.
