  I worked with students in the lab with learning disabilities to help test their understanding of concepts, keep them focused, and manage any student conflicts. Conducted research concerning the mutation of a specific glycosidase (BSNagZ) to chemo-enzymatically synthesize small peptidoglycan fragments to be used as either lysozyme substrates for infected wound diagnosis, substrates for enzyme screening or substrates for antibiotic research.
