EAGER

The NIH-funded Project EAGER at CSU Fullerton provides undergraduate students with hands-on experience in genomics, bioinformatics, and research communication. Through workshops, seminars, and mentored research, we explored how computational tools can be used to study biological systems and big data in modern biology.

As part of this program, I conducted summer research at UC Berkeley, where I worked with genomic data and developed bioinformatics workflows.

Heat Stress & Cancer Cells — Research Blog

This blog post summarizes my exploration of how heat stress influences protein expression pathways in cancer cells. I reviewed findings from transcriptomic studies and discussed the biological mechanisms linking heat shock responses to cancer progression.

RNA-seq Pipeline (Work in Progress)

I am currently developing an R-based pipeline to reproduce the analysis used to examine protein and gene expression under heat stress conditions. This pipeline includes data preprocessing, quality control, normalization, and exploratory analysis steps, and will be updated as I complete more of the workflow. I hope for it to be useful to give future EAGER cohorts a base of genomic tools in R ➡ (Page coming soon!)
