Experience
Microsoft CorporationIselin , NJAdvanced Biochemistry Research with Dr. Melanie Berkmen01/2017 to 05/2017
- Read primary literature related to the highly conserved Kreb's cycle enzyme fumarase, fumarase deficiency, leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer related to mutations in fumarase
- Utilized site-directed mutagenesis to make mutation Met195Thr in human recombinant His6-tagged fumarase
- Purified and characterized protein, discovering that fumarase (Met195Thr) has reduced activity in vitro compared to the wild-type enzyme

- Carried out a forward genetic screen to find novel regulators of rpoS in E. coli
- Isolated a plasmid containing an intergenic DNA transcript that may regulate the rpos gene in E. coli
- Determined the mechanism by which the regulator affected rpoS by using several different rpoS'-'lacZ fusions
- Performed many Betagalactosidase assays on different E. coli strains
- Successfully cloned an E. coli strain lacking the 5'UTR of ChiP
