Majoring in Bioinformatics-Ph.D
University of Arkansas at Little Rock
From Little Rock, AR

I am a Ph.D candidate in University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) joint bioinformatics program. My doctoral research focuses on using quantitative structure activity relationships in screening and characterization of drugs to block protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's among others. My research group is located in in the UAMS Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging.
