    Biomedical Sciences Predoctoral Fellow & Science Artist

    Passionate and accomplished biomedical scientist with over five years of experience investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiac pathologies. My expertise lies in utilizing biophysical approaches to explore the structure-function relationships of key cardiac proteins, with a focus on myosin mechanochemistry and its role in disease states. Through advanced methodologies such as steady-state and transient kinetics, fluorescence spectroscopy, and structural biology, I have contributed to a deeper understanding of how molecular dysfunction drives cardiomyopathies and other heart diseases. I am committed to leveraging cutting-edge research to advance therapeutic strategies and improve patient outcomes. I have consistently been inspired by the natural world and love to share the beauty of scientific reserach through my art. Thus, I am excited about utilizing creativity through scientific communiaction to encourage others' interest in biomedicine.
