Developing Bamboo as an Alternative Feed-stock for Bio-products
This was my first project with UBC Biological and Chemical Enigneering where I investigated potential strategies directed towards purifying α-cellulose from bamboo. I worked on developing a kinetic model for hemicellulose degradation in bamboo, conducted biomass sugar analysis and carried out cellulase/xylanase experiments.

A Transgenic X.Laevis Model for Monitoring Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Caused by bP23H Mutation
My second co-0p position was with UBC ophthalmology where I investigated mechanisms underlying photo-receptor cell death in Retinitis Pigmentosa. Unfortunately I am not able to show case my data and results here as they were not published. However, you can find more details of my projects and lab information by clicking here.
