Education:

 

B.S. - Chemistry with concentration in forensics, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, Edinboro PA- 2008

 

Currently working toward a Ph. D. in organic chemistry

 

 

 

Current Projects:

 

 - Investigating the binding properties of targeting molecules with our novel beta-cyclodextrin containing nucleic acid delivery vehicles. A fluorimetric competition binding method is being employed to study these interactions.

In the near future we aim to have incorporated targeting moieties into all of our delivery vehicles. 

 

- Development of novel delivery vehicles for nucelic acid delivery and MRI imaging
