Research Interests

I worked at the National Cancer institute at the National Institute of Health last summer in the Lab of Immnunoregulation studying the effect of a protein,Centromere Binding Protein-B (CENP-B) on the regulation and activation of cells in the immune system. I am currently working with Dr.Daughters in the adolescent study at CAPER. The study observes how stress that adolescents go through influence their tendency of being involved in substance use. I am interested in being involved in research that involves areas that include but are not limited to neuroscience, clinical psychology and genetics.
