My scientific passion is to answer biological questions about health by crossing-over medicinal chemistry and nuclear medicine.\u00a0Combining my training in chemistry and biochemistry, I am interested in modifying DNA to improve diagnosis of cancer, leading to my first and leading-author publication in RSC Med. Chem<\/em>.<\/a> My work also spans drug development and understanding structure-activity relationship of small molecules. For more information please visit\u00a0My Work: Explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Outside of science, I enjoy the great outdoors \u2013 the beautiful British Columbia. I do enjoy a good hike; science and mountains alike. Please leave a message if you wish to talk about nature, a good math problem<\/a>, or just to say hi. I would love to meet you (Contact Information<\/a>).<\/p>\n
