Research Assistant - Columbia University
Conducted research in neuroscience focused on mechanisms of lung cancer–driven pain and retrograde labeling techniques, applying experimental methods and analytical reasoning. Collaborated with lab leadership to design and standardize protocols while maintaining rigorous documentation of results. Built subject-matter expertise in neurobiology, sensory systems, and translational research workflows. • Investigated how lung cancer regulates the internal sensory system to drive pain • Standardized retrograde labeling approaches for lung innervating neurons • Performed and interpreted neuroscience experiments and related data • Maintained research records and supported lab reproducibility and troubleshooting
