About my research

I am a research scientist at the University of Arizona's Biomedical Campus in Phoenix. In the biotech sector and academia, I have over 14 years of experience and expertise in nanobiotechnology, artificial immune organoids, cancer immunotherapy, bioengineering, vaccine development, and project management. I formerly worked at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, as a research associate on cancer immunotherapy and humanized mouse models. Before earning my Ph.D., I worked as a scientist in a few biotech sector R&D departments, producing human and animal viral and bacterial vaccines. While working at the International Vaccine Institute, a United Nations-supported institute for various vaccination initiatives for the developing world, I also maintained data and developed new protocols to conduct lab tests for a few clinical studies.
