I joined The Jackson Laboratory in 2011 under the mentorship of Dr. Kevin Seburn, Dr. Greg Cox and Dr. Robert Burgess. Our research focused primarily on Neurodegenerative diseases such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
From 2012-2015 I joined the lab of Dr. Cathleen Lutz and furthered my studies of diseases of the neuromuscular system. With studies driven by therapeutic optimization, our research focused primarily on Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy.
Expanding upon my research interests, I joined Dr. Laura Reinholdt's lab to study the mammalian genome from 2016 until her retirement in 2024. In that time, I assisted in the development of numerous ES and iPSC lines from genetically diverse mice.
Currently, under the direction of Ewelina Bolcun-Filas in Genetic Resource Science, I am utilizing cell culture techniques to study various gene editing efficiencies in embryonic stem cells and zygotes.
