During my undergraduate studies I worked with Dr. Samantha Torquato studying parasitic nematodes in marine mammals, and Dr. Nathan Derr studying yeast motor proteins. In the Derr Lab, I completed an undergraduate honors thesis on using genetic recombination of fluorescent proteins to study protein partitioning in dividing yeast cells. In addition to my research at Smith, I interned with Dr. Nicola Pusterla at UC Davis studying equine respiratory pathogen prevalence, and with Dr. Norbert Perrimon at Harvard Medical School developing a pooled CRISPR screening platform in tick cell culture. Upon starting my PhD at Boston University, I joined Dr. Mikel Garcia-Marcos\u2019 lab, where I am studying the functional consequences of spatiotemporally controlled G protein signaling in cardiomyocytes.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><h4 class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">Publications<\/h4><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wilcox, A., Barnum, S., Wademan, C., Corbin, R., Escobar, E., Hodzic, E., Schumacher, S., &amp; Pusterla, N.
