After receiving my bachelors degree in Biology, I worked in the industry for a year and a half as an analytical chemist. My research in this lab will be focused on using phage display to identify cyclic peptides capable of binding to and inhibiting the HIV-1 Nef protein. When I am not in the lab, I am at home with my 2 year old pit mix Lincoln, who loves to go on long hikes and snuggle as well.
