Current research project: I currently work in Dr. Robert Tighe's lab in the pulmonary division of Duke Medical School. Our lab is working to define mechanisms of susceptibility to lung injury and disease. My project specifically is to determine the effects of aging on ozone induced lung injury and inflammation with a focus on differential gene expression.
Post-Duke plans: After Duke I hope to get my PhD in immunology and eventually work for pharmaceutical company's global health department.
