I was able to help a new faculty member at KU establish his research in bioartificial organ development by helping set up the lab, assisting in sample and equipment procurement, analyzing kidney angiographs, decellularizing whole organs and tissues, collecting and processing cadaveric samples for imaging and perfusion studies, analyzing microscopic and angiographic data and learning statistical analyses that were used to make deductions as well as helping to establish a framework for machine learning processes to analyze vascular structure in vivo and in vitro. I was responsible for handling biological tissue samples for biochemical and mechanical testing and conducting data and image analysis on sample micrograph images that were obtained. I used these experiences to work on publications for Q1 journals

While I interned at the HEIC I worked on a research project about the Intravital imaging of endogenous actin dysregulation in proximal and distal tubules at the onset of severe ischemia-reperfusion injury and conducted various angiographies and data analysis for publication purposes.
