Post-doctoral Research Fellow in pharmacology and neuroscience, advancing sex-dimorphic metabolic discovery through data-driven research.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at Tulane University in the Hormones & Metabolism Discovery Research Laboratory (Dr. Franck Mauvais-Jarvis). My work centers on pharmacology and neuroscience questions in metabolic health—especially sexually dimorphic mechanisms—using rigorous experimental research and scholarly output (7 total publications; 90+ citations; h-index: 4).
Before my postdoc, I served as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Lab of Dr. Shelley Tischkau, earning my PhD in Pharmacology and Neuroscience and building a strong foundation in energy homeostasis, aryl hydrocarbon receptor biology, and diabetes-related mechanisms. I also enjoy communicating science: I’ve delivered science outreach (Brain Awareness Week), led virtual webinars for U.S. graduate school applications, and taught as a Teaching Assistant—so I can contribute both research progress and meaningful mentorship.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Conducted endocrine and metabolic research in Tulane University’s Hormones & Metabolism Discovery lab, investigating sexually dimorphic mechanisms underlying diet-induced metabolic dysfunction and adipose aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling.
