Research Interests
Biochemistry! I am currently working with Dr. Jordan on his project “Uncovering mediators of nutritional effects on metabolic gene expression in health and disease”. The inspiration for this project stems from investigating the effect of overconsumption on the body and how this contributes to obesity. Dr. Jordan plans to develop a localized medication that specifically targets the transcription factors responsible for fat storage in the liver as a way to counteract obesity. My role in the lab will be helping to research these transcription factors and develop methods to test the role of the factors, using mice, in vivo.
