Summary

Recently graduated with a PhD from University of Delaware. Developed 3D culture model to mimic components of the tumor micro-environment and investigate the impact of tumor cells on normal epithelial cells. Worked in the pharmaceutical R&D area for 4 years where I developed and optimized cell free and cell based assays to evaluate efficacy and potency of potential drug candidates in different assay formats.Over the years I have gained expertise in molecular biology, protein biochemistry and confocal microscopy techniques.

For my doctoral research project, I have been studying the early events that lead to tumor formation, particularly how tumor cells affect normal epithelial cell morphology.
Developed novel 3D assay system to study preneoplastic lumen filling in vitro and to quantify the pro-oncogenic effects of soluble E-cadherin, a tumor promoting protein fragment which is elevated in epithelial cancers.
