I work in the Burkart Lab at University of California, San Diego. I am currently drafting, along with a fellow graduate student, a lab wiki that contains useful lab protocols and equipment signup calendars.

Education

• 2006, MS, Chemistry, University of California, San Diego
• 2004, BS, Cell Biology & Biochemistry, University of California, San Diego

Research interests

1. Therapeutically active small molecules from Nature
2. Enzyme structure and function
3. Engineering of 'novel' metabolic pathways
4. New antibiotics
