Welcome to this space. I am a Chemist with a Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences. 
During my Ph.D. research, I synthesized new diazirine-labeled probe molecules to investigate their binding interactions with α-synuclein and CB1 receptors. By photo-affinity labeling, I identified that caffeine and nicotine probes formed covalent adducts at the N-terminal domain of α-synuclein, selectively at amino acid tyrosine-39. I have experience in organic synthesis, photo-affinity labeling, small-molecule neuromodulation, and computational chemistry.

I have taught undergraduate and graduate-level chemistry courses. I strive to cultivate a deep understanding of the subject matter, scientific curiosity, and a problem-solving mindset in a supportive environment—always with room for a few jokes along the way!

I have published in peer-reviewed journals and actively contribute to the scientific community through conferences, article collaboration, and peer-reviewing. I am open to connections with professionals, researchers, and institutions interested in collaboration, innovation, and educational advancement.
