I am a protein biochemist with a decade of experience expressing, purifying, and studying difficult-to-express proteins. I prefer to dive deep into a given problem and analytically dissect common issues in Protein Science and assay development.

Currently, I am a Research Scientist at Eikon Therapeutics where I am building out the Protein Science team within the Biochemistry Department and serving on project teams to provide biochemical expertise.

I was a postdoctoral scholar in the lab of Professor Peter Turnbaugh in the Microbiology and Immunology Department at UCSF, Parnassus. I studied the influence of the microbiome on the pharmacology of chemotherapeutics and other xenobiotics. I received my PhD from UC Berkeley in the Chemistry Department working in the lab of Professor Michael Marletta. My thesis work involved elucidating the molecular mechanisms of enzyme activation of the mammalian nitric oxide receptor and its homologs.
