Interinstitutional Berea/Vanderbilt Research Fellow at Vanderbilt University Medical Center

An interinstitutional collaborative research project involving Berea College students and Vanderbilt University faculty organized by the Billy Hudson Lab. Here, we were tasked to study the ECM properties of A. Salina as it relates to the labs study on Alports Syndrome, Goodpastures Syndrome, and other Collagen IV-related diseases. I have inherited practice, skill, and insight in writing protocols for the preservation of A. Salina and analysis of ECM proteins, buffer preparation for collagenase digest, and managing the chemical and biological reagent stock.

New practicable, eco-friendly methods in the generation of sustainable transparent wood materials
Transparent wood (TW) is a lightweight, energy-efficient material engendering optical functionalities in natural hardwoods. A scalable method of TW involves the photocatalytic depolymerization of lignin on chromophore residues. However, we recognize that the use of hazardous reagents renders the method impracticable without posing a risk to workers. Hence, the present study explores differing, nonhazardous reagents that can undergo the photocatalytic oxidation mechanism to achieve TW materials. Note: Current works are still ongoing.
