• Developed methods for therapeutic delivery of miRNAs and exosomes to animal models of pain • Authored a translational research study on changes in exosomal transcriptome in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and in animal models of inflammatory pain • Verified miRNA regulation of inflammatory mRNAs in vitro • Mentored undergraduate and graduate students, managed ordering and protocol development

The second half of my Ph.D. research focused on mechanisms of translational regulation and regeneration in adult rodent sensory neurons. I transitioned into the lab of Dr. Jeffery Twiss at Nemours/A.I. duPont Hospital, but kept my affiliation with University of Delaware's Chemistry and BIochemistry Department. • Quantified localization and colocalization between mRNA degradation proteins in rodent peripheral axons • Measured the half-life of localized axonal mRNAs in response to neurotrophic factors after axotomy

My graduate studies began in the lab of Dr. Mueller, who relocated his lab to University of Louisville in 2007. My initial training was in mechanistic enzymology and I developed a strong foundation in protein biochemistry. • Published the kinetic and spectrophotometric characterization of enzyme: fluorinated tRNA inhibitor adducts • Resolved a discrepancy between a radiometric and spectrophotometric measurement of a tritium-labeled RNA substrate that helped the lab perform experiments with an increased accuracy and incorporate quality control procedures
