    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Trained as a fellow in the laboratory of molecular and clinical hematology (MCH), a branch of the National Institute of Digestive, Diabetes and Kidney disease. Conduct researchers in gene therapy on Sickle Cell Disease and developing molecules to reprogram immature mRNA molecules as a form of RNA therapy. As a developing independent researcher, I value and promote collaborative efforts. I would like to expand my expertise into the physiological and molecular field of cardiovascular function particularly as it relates to obesity. This will be an interesting and beneficial collaborative mentorship with Dr. Haddad and Dr. Artaza.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
