Elucidating signaling pathways involved in tumor progression of HER2-positive breast cancer I worked in an ongoing project that investigate the role of c-Src in ErbB2-positive tumors of genetically engineered mice (NIC line). I specifically studied c-Src's effects on cell proliferation using cell culture assays and on tumor progression in vivo. Further, I also investigated the role of c-Src in exacerbating resistance against therapeutic drugs.

Research Assistant

2011 - 2012

Investigated the structural basis of interferon-induced protein with tetracopeptide repeats (IFIT) using small-angle X-ray scattering and X-ray crystallography I worked in an ongoing project to elucidate the physiological structure of IFIT1 to explain its role in the human innate immune response to viral infections. Particularly, I studied the dimerization of IFIT1 and the structural relevance of the interaction between IFIT1 and the human papillomavirus (HPV) E1 replication domain proteins.

Intercollegiate Athlete (Varsity Volleyball)

2009 - 2010

I represented McGill University in the Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) Program and in the Junior Collegiate tournaments (Under 21 years old) in Quebec; devoting more than 25 hours a week to practice, traveling, and tournaments while maintaining a rigorous academic schedule.

Student Research Assistant

2010 - 2010

In a short placement at the Department of Biochemistry at Siriraj Hospital of Mahidol University, I provided assistance of laboratory work in a research project and worked concurrently at the Institute of Forensic Medicine of the Royal Thai Police. I assisted forensic scientists to establish novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that can be used to identify degraded corpses using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis.
