I am currently a post-doc in Drew Endy's lab at Stanford University. The focus of my project is to redesign phage using both rational and combinatorial methods to finish the genetics of a simple system.
I started off my science career in at the University of Alberta (Canada), working in the Casey and Michalak labs during this time. Summer student work in Casey Lab on the human sodium-bicarbonate co-transporter protein resulted in my first authorship in a peer-reviewed publication. My honors project in the Michalak Lab had me trying to determine the role of calcium signalling and calreticulin on murine embryonic stem cell differentiation into heart cells. After achieving a B.Sc. (Honors) in Biochemistry I went to the Beatty Lab at the University of British Columbia to start my Ph.D. While at UBC I discovered that a photosynthetic organism called Rhodobacter sphaeroides was capable of re-routing its chlorophyll biosynthetic machinery around a blockage to generate a new type of chlorophyll.
