Research interests
I am currently working on ligation of dumbbell DNA structures containing intrastrand crosslinks. I am investigating the use of chemical and enzymatic ligation.
Previous work
In my last year of my BSc., I completed my Honours thesis in Dr. Wilds’ Lab where I prepared modified circular DNA molecules. During this time, I learned various techniques including synthesis of modified nucleosides, column chromatography, small molecule characterization, solid phase DNA synthesis and purification by PAGE.
