===Please briefly describe any previous laboratory experience===
I worked as a lab assistant in the Hoffman laboratory at the Veteran's Affair Hospital in Palo Alto, CA doing mostly cell culture work summer of 2007. During summer 2009, I worked as a Nanomedicine Fellow in the Mobley Lab in the Stanford Medical Center researching BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor) and its relation to Huntington's disease. During fall of 2009, I worked in the Langer lab with nanoparticles for drug delivery. From IAP 2010 until now, I have been in the King lab working on Human gamma crystallin and the archael chaperonin Mm-Cpn

I work in the King Lab on the 3rd floor of building 68 on protein aggregation and misfolding, specifically with Human gamma D crystallin and the archael chaperonin Mm-cpn. I learned about OpenWetWare from 20.109 (Lab class for bioengineering) at MIT.

Education
