At SINGANAYAGAM LAB, I investigated how Neisseria commensals affect pulmonary immunopathology in a murine coinfection model. I processed tissue and lavage samples and used ELISA, qPCR, and Olink proteomics to study inflammatory markers and host immune responses.
At NAJER LAB, I assembled and characterised polymer-based nanovesicles for viral entry inhibition studies, then tested their efficacy using pseudovirus infectivity assays. At UCLA, I studied opioid receptors and peptides in the Pacific Hagfish and contributed to characterising its gut microbiome.
