BIO

Area of Dissertation Research

Elucidating the role of peroxiredoxin 3 in tumor biology specifically mesothelioma while aiding in the development of novel cancer therapies.

I am 4th year Ph.D candidate in the Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Sciences program at UVM. I received my M.S degree from Boston University in Pathology and Laboratory Science in 2021 and my B.S in Biochemistry from SUNY Cortland in 2019. My Masters thesis work was in the Amyloid Research Laboratory at BUSM where I studied the biophysical properties of a novel amyloidogenic beta2-microblobulin variant. Alongside my masters I worked at Boston Medical Center COVID-19 Biorepository processing clinical samples and assisting in COVID-19 research studies. I am excited to be part of the Cunniff lab where I will be researching therapies and resistance mechanisms in malignant mesothelioma and other cancers. Outside of the lab, I enjoy hockey, snowboarding, and traveling.
