PhD student
Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences
Thesis work for Master of Science included lambing rates, reproductive traits, and endocrinological profiles of ewes treated with dexamethasone before maternal recognition of pregnancy. After the completion of my graduate program at New Mexico State University, I accepted a position at Houston Methodist Research Institute investigating neural regeneration and bladder function after spinal cord injury. Goal of such study was to reduce scar formation and regenerate axonal growth using nanocomposite hydrogels, botox, and other treatments in a partial SCI-rat model. Subsequently moved to Dallas, where our research at UT Southwestern involved the role of Uromodulin and the regulation of the renal calcium channel TRPV5. Currently working with a canine model for X-linked hereditary nephropathy focusing on biomarkers and CRiSPR/CAS9 therapy at Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
