I am a sophomore biomedical engineering student at UCONN Storrs. I come from a small town in southern Rhode Island, Narragansett. Surfing and skiing are the two things I will never turn down. Over the last two semesters, I have become a part of this lab, assisting in experiments using traction force microscopy, as well as other cell culture experiments. I have recently started work with animals, and I am excited to dive further into this sector.
Our lab uses and develops biomedical tools to specifically answer biological questions we are interested in. We have specialized assays developed in house, as well as use a variety of tools developed elsewhere, which we customize for our collaborative research.
