I am a PhD candidate in Applied & Environmental Microbiology under the guidance of Dr. Sidney Crow and Dr. George Pierce. My dissertation research primarily involves the industrial-scale genetic engineering of recombinant vaccines and vaccine adjuvants and their subsequent purification using Akta-based column chromatography. In addition to my time in the lab, I also enjoy teaching Biotechnology at Georgia State University and mentoring undergraduates in research endeavors. My husband and I reside in Cumming, GA and are expecting our first child to be born on Halloween. Needless to say, I won't be at this year's jamboree, but I am looking forward to hearing all about it from the GSU team.
