Molecular Pharmacology

My background is in molecular pharmacology as I did both my undergrad and master’s degrees in that field. I then briefly worked in industry but felt that my time working in research wasn’t over yet so I returned to the same lab where I did my undergrad project to start my PhD. Currently, I’m focused on matching up how chemotactic receptors move around inside immune cells and how this relates to their overall function. Hopefully, becoming part of this community will influence my future direction and allow me to share aspects of my research field that I find inspiring.
