PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biosciences (Expected 2029)

Research

My research focuses on developing and optimizing vaccine formulations using platforms such as nanolipoprotein particle and mRNA-lipid nanoparticle technologies to elicit robust humoral and cellular immune responses.

Biography

I got my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from the University of New Mexico. I then moved to Omaha, Nebraska to study and complete a Clinical Anatomy & Medical Sciences Master of Science program at Creighton University. I spent the next couple of years studying and optimizing vaccine candidates in the Bay Area at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. I am currently a first-year PhD student in Molecular Biology. Outside of research, I enjoy pilates, coffee, and spending time with friends, family, and my cat!
