I am an RNA biology and molecular engineering scientist focused on building high-purity RNA and functional delivery systems that actually work in cells.
My training bridges RNA synthesis, analytical assay development, chemical biology, and delivery, with a strong record of building new tools rather than relying on commercial kits.

I completed my PhD at UMass Amherst, where I engineered novel in vitro transcription platforms using T7 RNA polymerase tethered to promoter DNA—a system that enables higher RNA purity, reduced dsRNA byproducts, and reusable synthesis without downstream chromatography. These methods outperform commercial kits and have been validated in transfection studies using HEK293T cells and macrophages.
