Professional Statement
Developing high-throughput antibody-based proteomic platforms for protein biomarker discovery and validation, especially for low abundance regulatory proteins and their activation states such as phosphorylation and histone translational modifications.Combining my advanced technology expertise and passion for education to build biotechnology research education programs.
Websites
The Antibody-based Proteomics Core provides cutting-edge antibody-based proteomic platforms for both validation and protein biomarker discovery, particularly for low abundance regulatory proteins and activation states of proteins with phosphorylated antibodies.
Leveraging Baylor College of Medicine's advanced technology and cancer research resources, the Biotechnology Research Education Programs include NIH-funded training programs for teachers and college students, as well as internally funded programs for high school students by the Lester and Sue Smith Center.

- $1,250,000.00 (07/01/2024 - 04/30/2029) NIH R25 Science Educatin Partnership Award (SEPA)
- The Biotechnology Research Incubator for Teachers (BRITE) program provides middle school teachers in the Houston area with summer research opportunities, aligning with Next Generation Science Standards and bridging the gap between research experiences, AI guided literature adaptation,, and classroom instruction. BRITE aims to enhance science education, empower teachers, and inspire students to pursue STEMM fields.
- Cancer Research Education Program (C-REP) for NIH P20 BCM/TSU CURED (09/21/2023 - 08/31/2027) NIH P20 C-REP
- The Collaborative Cancer Research Education Program (C-REP) of the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM)/ Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center (DLDCCC) and Texas Southern University (TSU) P20 Collaborative Union for Cancer Research, Education and Disparities (CURED) project will train 20 TSU underrepresented minority students in cancer research, cutting edge technologies, and career pathway. The cohort of 20 CURED scholars will participate in an 8-week mentored cancer research experience that integrates BCM and TSU infrastructures every summer followed by year-long culturally congruent outreach education activities that will increase the awareness, knowledge, and understanding of research, concepts, processes, and careers in cancer research/cancer health disparities.
