What is your current research focus? I currently work in a cellular biophysics lab with a focus on cancer biology and genomics. I work with cells and conduct cell culture. We are currently studying how different integrins in MiaPaCa-2 cells change their morphology and proliferation in different extracellular matrices. We also produce lentivirus to introduce their gene of interest to a specific cell line.
Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in? During UROP, I worked with the Global Health Collaboration Project. I focused on women's health regarding Intimate Partner Violence in Honduras.
