What I'm looking for

I seek a translational pharmacology/toxicology role in academia or industry to lead preclinical cancer–kidney studies, mentor trainees, publish impactful work, and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.

I am a pharmacology and toxicology researcher focused on translational preclinical studies of cancer-induced kidney injury and cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. I lead and execute complex experiments using techniques such as Western blotting, imaging mass cytometry, histological staining, flow cytometry, cell culture, RT-qPCR, ddPCR, and viral transduction, and I have authored manuscripts and presented at national meetings.

I bring clinical pharmacy experience and a strong teaching and mentorship record, having supervised trainees, delivered lectures, and optimized therapeutic plans in clinical settings. I am driven to advance mechanistic understanding and translational impact, mentor the next generation of scientists, and contribute to collaborative, multidisciplinary research programs.
