Undergraduate Institution

BS, University of Florida

Research Interests

I am interested in the biochemical pathways governing lipid and carbohydrate metabolism at both the cellular and systemic levels. My research on these molecular interactions will be used to further our understanding of metabolic function, ultimately leading to the identification of therapeutic targets.
