I am a molecular biologist with a passion for bioinformatics and experience teaching college biology. I can help you succeed at a biology course, apply for graduate school, search the scientific literature, understand research articles, design a research project, analyze data, or write up results. I have experience with many traditional wet lab techniques, including cell culture, viral propagation, transfection, Western blotting, and RT-qPCR. I can also teach you how to analyze data using the command line, Python, R, or GUI-based tools like Galaxy. I am all-but-dissertation in the PhD program in Animal Biology at UC Davis, where I studied the molecular mechanisms of sperm-egg fusion. I have also worked as a Research Assistant at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, where I studied the mechanism by which cytomegalovirus regulates the expression of a certain protein.
