Research Interests
Veronica was a post-baccalaureate technical fellow in Hope Lab from 2014 to 2016. She focused on assessing microparticle internalization in neurons, primarily using cell culture to investigate the role of surface chemistry and surface charge on the uptake of microspheres into neuronal cells. As of 2018, Veronica works in Circulomics, where they use techniques to extract high molecular weight, high quality and purity DNA from a variety of inputs including mammalian cells, bacteria, human blood, and plants. She will be starting her PhD with Dr. Carsten Prasse in Environmental Health and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, focusing on investigating unknown contaminants in water, and assessing the effects of those contaminants on the protein level.
