About me
I graduated from the Colorado School of Mines with a B.Sc. in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering with a minor in Biomedical Engineering in 2017. I then pursued a Ph.D. in Biomedical Science from the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center in the United States of America in October of 2023. My thesis was titled "Unraveling SRP Biogenesis and Quality Control: Implications for Human Disease Pathogenesis". I specialized in cotranslational protein targeting and quality control at the endoplasmic reticulum and am now a postdoctoral fellow in the departments of Biochemistry and Biophysics and the Molecular Biosciences - Wenner-Gren Institute. I am currently in the labs of Gunnar von Heijne in DBB and Claes Andreasson in MBW.
My studies switched focus from quality control at the endoplasmic reticulum in human cells to creating a tool to study cotranslational protein folding at the mitochondria in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
