Where I've worked

Independent computational biology research using a protein language model to study TP53 variant pathogenicity.

• Used ESM-C to score all 7,467 possible missense substitutions across the 393-amino-acid human TP53 protein.
• Processed and visualized model scores in Python, then compared predictions with ClinVar classifications for benign, pathogenic, and uncertain variants.
• Wrote a research paper describing the workflow, results, limitations, and potential use of protein language models for variant prioritization.

The premise of the internship was to see whether students with less research experience could correctly complete lab tasks that would previously have required significantly more experience and formal schooling.

• Conducted molecular biology experiments involving plasmid assembly, cell culture, AAV production, and qPCR testing in a BSL-2 laboratory.
• Used AI tools to learn, document, and refine experimental protocols while maintaining a detailed lab notebook that was updated every day with new findings, problems, and solutions.
• Completed 156 hours of synthetic biology research and earned certificates in AI Prompt Engineering and Laboratory Techniques.
