Major: Psychobiology

Career Aspirations: To pursue a career in medicine with a research focus on the intersection between physical health and mental health along with reducing the disparities in both the mental health field and health care system among undeserved populations.

Potential References

1.Types of Lipid-linked proteins [1].

  • Thinking of adding more detail about the types of lipid-linked proteins.

2. Interaction of membrane spanning proteins and lipid- anchored proteins [2]

  • Seems like I could talk more in detail about this interactions

3. Lipid-protein interactions in membrane [3]

  • Seems like I could provide more detail about the interactions

4. Lipid anchored protein and Ras [4]

  • Since we learned a little bit about Ras, figured it might be beneficial to learn a little bit more about it and its relationship with lipid anchored proteins.

5. Lipid anchored Kinase protein [5]

  • Might be able to provide more detail about the roles lipid anchored proteins play.
