As a graduate student in the laboratory of Saeed Tavazoie, I research various forms of death resistance in Escherichia coli. Using microbiology, molecular biology, and systems biology approaches, my work touches on bacterial evolution, antibiotic resistance, and stress response mechanisms. 

As a master’s student at New York University, I worked in the laboratory of Lionel Christiaen, studying mechanisms underlying muscle specification in Ciona intestinalis.
