Undergraduate Honours Thesis Student

I am joining the Katzenback lab this Spring as a fourth-year student in the Honours Biology Co-op Program with a minor in Anthropology. My research will characterize the potential antibacterial activity of four novel peptides identified by the lab, and their possible antiviral activity to Frog Virus 3.

In Fall 2021, I will continue with the lab and begin working on my Senior Honours Project (Undergraduate Thesis).

I love to go on trips and a personal bucket list item of mine is to travel to every province and territory in Canada.
