Awesome
I really love Prof. Shriver! She clearly knows her stuff and she teaches the way things should be taught in med school. Would really recommend taking a class with her. Be prepared for a lot of reading and prep before lectures though. Also, read the material before lecture so you can understand things better.

Awesome
I took Prof. Shriver both for BIOCHEM2 and 3. If you plan to go to her office hours, don't go there without knowing anything. Make sure to be prepared. You can see that she cares about teaching people how to teach themselves. She's a great contact, so I suggest you build a connection.

As a member of the discovery biology team
I utilized in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry to identify the relationship between gene expression profiles found to be dysregulated using TOGA technology and disease phenotype that would lead to new therapeutic opportunities.

My research uses untargeted metabolomics
mass spectrometry-based imaging
and viral nanoparticles to understand the pathological mechanisms that result in tissue damage during autoimmunity and infection. In addition
I am working toward developing new therapies by manipulating metabolic pathways in vivo.
