The highlights
As an undergrad, I helped develop polymorphic microsatellite markers for the turkey genome and use them for genotyping a reference population of turkeys for linkage mapping analysis.
As a graduate student, I discovered an activated progesterone receptor gene expression signature that was prognostic for aggressive breast cancer.
At the U of MN Veterinary Diagnostic Lab, I built a shotgun metagenomic sequencing analysis pipeline to discover two novel pathogenic viruses, Porcine circovirus 3 and Porcine enterovirus G1-PLpro.
As an analyst at the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute, I have been a part of over 40 unique projects resulting in at least 15 journal publications.
