      Student Researcher

       Investigated whether healthy bone marrow transplantation into a mouse model of pulmonary hypertension prevents right ventricle diseaseo Isolated bone marrow mononuclear cells from mouse femurso Quantified right ventricle fibrosis via trichrome staining and image analysis Investigated a novel flow cytometric method to quantify myofibroblast collagen expression in mouse lungs to compare collagen production in asthmatic and non-asthmatic lungso Performed titration of antibodies to determine ideal concentrations for tissue stainingo Prepared lung cells for flow cytometry, operated the flow cytometer, and helped analyze data Investigated new proteins involved in Hemoglobin maturationo Performed cell culture of HEK cells and transfection of site directed mutantso Ran Western blot analyses to determine protein expression Investigated whether inflammatory regions of asthmatic mouse lungs coincide with molecular signatures of sGC dysfunctiono Cultured bronchial epithelial cells, prepared cell supernatants, and prepared mouse lung supernatantso Ran Western blots, immunoprecipitation assays, and ELISA to analyze induced protein expression, protein-protein interactions, and enzymatic activity Show less

    • Technische Universität Berlin

      May 2019 - Aug 2019
      DAAD RISE Scholar

      Used additive manufacturing techniques (filament winding, 3D printing) to fabricate endless carbon fiber-reinforced, polymer-matrix based composites in varying geometries; then prepared and carried out mechanical testing of samples and analyzed the results based on variable curing times/temperatures, printing/winding parameters, and fiber/matrix material. Repaired filament winding machine and learned (and documented) how to use a new software program. Helped teach intensive weeklong 3D printing exposure class. Show less
