Cote Lab, Durham, New Hampshire Undergraduate Researcher 2014 – 2016

Faculty Mentor: Professor Rick Cote Senior Thesis: Use of Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors as Potential Nematicides Optimized expression and purification of recombinant PDE proteins via affinity and

gel-filtration chromatography Utilized purified PDE proteins for pharmacological study – measured changes in enzyme

rate when complexed with different inhibitors (measuring cAMP hydrolysis using radio isotope 3H)

Awarded a 2015 UNH Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship
