Research Assistant Professor

I am deeply committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care to my patients while also striving to make a meaningful impact on global health initiatives. Whether in the hospital or the field, my mission remains the same — to bring hope, healing and high-quality care to those who need it most. My work at LIMR has focused on using PCRs (polymerase chain reactions) to identify marker genes to be used in transforming bacterial vectors so transformant strains can be identified and further engineered for expressing therapeutic antibodies for global impact.
