Our work is finally published! We developed a robust in vitro platform to study a disease relevant membrane protease, notoriously difficult to isolate.This protease has linked to cancer & neurodegen,and our platform opens new doors for structural & drug discovery. sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

As a leader in my lab & various initiatives, I’ve made my stance clear....my commitment to DEI is unwavering. I won’t back down or shy away, even as others do. I’ll continue to uphold and advocate for these values.

If you have an undergrad that will graduate this year but who needs a little more research experience before their next step, encourage them to apply to the UConn RAMP program. genome-postbac.biology.clas.uconn.edu. The application deadline for the 2025 cohort is February 21st. 🧪 1/2

Recent years brought much talk about diversity and inclusion by many organizations. Now we’ll see how much of that was performative. For those of us that were here before DEI was a term and was fashionable, and will be here after it is considered no longer “timely”, onwards. Lots of work to get done

Nerves/fear will never stop me from speaking up when it’s important. Patients, including my mother-in-law whom is getting a drug targeted to the exact receptors I study starting today, need our uninterrupted attention. My interview with NewsNation Live. www.newsnationnow.com/video/nih-ca...

Happy 17th Bday to my amazing daughter, born during my 1st year of grad school—a time when I faced the harsh realities of how tough academia can be for moms. Motherhood became my greatest gift, giving me purpose & unshakable drive to earn that PhD. To all the mamas: It’s possible. You are strong 💕
